the sun set spectacularly between two rocky peaks as you

sea. Mean, Mother nature has given it just about everything

forest, rivers, lakes waterfalls and ever a hill-station,
Mt. Abu to see the Dilwara Jain Temples.
We had heard a lot about these
profusely Dilwara Temple is carved marble temples, but no
words can describe the breathtaking beauty of the Delwara
Temples, which have been carved with such delicate intricacy
that the effect is not of marble but of frilly paper
cuttings. At places, the marble has been so finely shaved

The workmanship is much, much

(155 Kms. / 3 Hrs.) by
surface visiting
CHITTORGARH
About 90 kms
from Udaipur, the great fort of
Chittorgarh stands atop a 500-foot high hill rising
sharply from the surrounding plain. Today largely a deserted
ruin, this fort perhaps more than any other symbolized the
honor and valor of the people of Rajashthan. Despite the
passage of centuries, the fierce struggles at Chittor are
the subject of epic tales still told and songs still sung.
Chittorgarh became the first capital of the royal house of
Mewar, descended from the sun in the early thirteenth
century. In 1303 the fort was attacked by Aluddin Khilji,
the sultan of Delhi, reputed to be interested in claiming
the beautiful Rajput princess as his own. If that was his
goal, it was not to be realized, because as defeat became
certain, Padmini and all the other women to the fort
voluntarily committed themselves to the flames in ritual
suicide. Their men folk donned saffron robes and fought to
their deaths. Today, massive fort walls, huge gateways,
palaces, temples and towers bear muter witness to
Chittorgarh’s turbulent past.
Attractions:
- The Fort:
- According to legend, Bhim,
one of the Pandava heroes of the ‘Mahabharata’, is credited
with the fort’s original construction. All of Chittor’s
attractions are within the fort. The main gate on the
eastern side of the fort is known as the Surajpol. From the
western end of the fort, there are fine views over the town
and across the surrounding countryside, as well as al
less-than charming view of an enormous cement factory.
Vijay
Stambh(Victory Tower):
It was built in 1440 AD. by Maharaja Kumbha, a
powerful ruler of Mewer, to commemorate his victory over the
muslim rulers of Malwa and Gujrat. It is 37-metre high
structure with nine stories, covered with exquisite
sculptures of Hindu deities.
Padmini
Palace:
Built beside a large pool with a pavilion in its centre.
Legend relates that, as Padmini sat in this pavilion, Alaud-din
was permitted to see her reflection in a mirror in the
palace. The bronze gates in this pavilion, were carried off
by Akbar and can now be seen in the fort at Agra.
Bijapur
Garh Bijapur built in early
16th century AD by Rao Vijay Singh ji, descendent
of great rajput warrior Shakti Singh, the younger brother of
Maharaja Pratap.
Bijapur had a strategic location in the former kingdom of
Mewar, as it was defending the frontiers against the
invading Mughal and Maratha Armies.
The present Rao Saheb
Narendra singh ji has been renovated and converted into a
castle for tourists to come and experience the warm Rajput
hospitality of Mewar.
An enchanting heritage castle
standing high on a plateau of the great Vindhyachal Ranges.
