Chittor or Chittorgarh - is a tiny region in Rajasthan
that reverberates with tales of heroic deeds, royal
sacrifices and tragedy.
Located at a distance of 320 kilometers from the royal
Rajasthan capital Jaipur, Chittorgarh though a rustic
town today was at one time a mighty Rajput bastion.
The fort at Chittorgarh is the most important of all
attractions in the area. Located on top of a hill the
Chittorgarh Fort overlooks the town below.
Chittorgarh finds a mention in records that were left
behind by Alberuni - a great scholar of his times. Much
before Udaipur, Chittorgarh was the capital of the brave
Sisodia clan. The Sisodias till date are known for their
brave exploits and are the oldest royal family in India
that can trace its ancestry to more than 75 generations.
Chittorgarh served as the capital of Mewar for several
centuries till Maharana Udai Singhji established a new
city Udaipur. Atone point of time in history the region
was a very coveted and contested seat of power.
