Chittorgarh Illustrious The kingdom of Mewar, which has the longest- running monarchy in history, had its capital at Chittorgarh Fort for a whopping eight centuries. It is not only thought to be the best fort in Rajasthan, but also one of the biggest forts in India and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many dramatic and sad events that took place at the fort during its era served as the basis for the divisive 2018 Indian period drama film "Padmaavat," some of which served as inspiration (based on an epic poem that recounts the legend of Queen Padmavati, wife of 14th century monarch Maharawal Ratan Singh).
