Chittorgarh Fort, Chittorgarh The oldest and biggest fort in India, Chittorgarh Fort, was built in the seventh century. The walls of this fort, which bears Chittranged Maurya's name, resound with one of history's most heartbreaking legends, Rani Padmini's Jauhar. The Rajputs valiantly defended Rani Padmini's reputation when the Muslim tyrant Alauddin Khilji took control of Chittorgarh Fort because he was enamoured with her. Rani Padmini led all the women and children into the blazing fire while the war raged in the background, thereby permanently preserving both her and the Rajputanas' honour. It is a stunning fort with seven entrances, the Sun Gate being the main one and featuring excellent sculptures. The Fort is also home to numerous Hindu temples, including the Meerabai, Kalika Mata, and Ganesha temples.
