Inside the ruins of Chittorgarh Fort, the largest of the Rajasthan Hill Forts - a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The fort was the capital of Mewar and was ruled initially by Guhilot and later by Sisodias, the Suryavanshi clans of Chattari Rajputs, from 7th century, until it was finally abandoned in 1568 after the siege by Emperor Akbar in 1567.
It sprawls majestically over a hill 180 m (590.6 ft) in height spread over an area of 280 ha (691.9 acres).

The fort precinct is studded with a series of historical palaces, gates, temples and two prominent commemoration towers.

The fort was sacked three times between 15th and 16th centuries; in 1303 Allauddin Khilji defeated Rana Ratan Singh, in 1535 Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat defeated Bikramjeet Singh and in 1567 Emperor Akbar defeated Maharana Udai Singh II who left the fort and founded Udaipur.

Each time the men fought bravely rushing out of the fort walls charging the enemy but lost every time...
