An amazing piece of historical gem. Beautifully preserved despite its tumultuous history spanning across multiple eras. From the Rajputs to Mughals and afghans this place has been visited by who is who of the Indian history and has so many stories to offer. Be it tales of rajputi bravery,rani padmavti's legend, mira bai's unparalleled devotion or khilji's savagery (who destroyed quite a bit of the place). Be it the monumental vijay stambha, kirti stambha, rani padmavati's palace or suraj pol (in front of which numerous monumental battles were fought) every place has chilling stories to offers. The fort premises are maintained by Archaeological Society of India which offers tour guides and a light & sound show at reasonable prices.Every monument inside palace premises can be driven up and takes about a 3 hours to cover at leisuerely pace (ie if you go up victroy and kirti towers).The light and sound show is offered during the evening in a surreal settings and is a must attend.

Standing tall in the chittorgarh fort area, this is the first thing which catches your attention as soon as you start seeing the fort while climbing the road towards it. It has the images of all the Hindu Gods and Goddesses as per the beliefs of the local people. Made in a shape which signifies the shape of a Damroo ,this place is worth a visit when in Chittorgarh.

Just opposite to Kumbha Swamin Temple.beside FatehPrakash Museum...a place worth to visit during Chitoregarh fort visit.. History of Jainism is very old. Its roots can be traced back to third or, fourth millennium BC. The legacy has been borne by the twenty four Tirthankaras. Rishabhanatha is known to be the first Tirthankara, the twenty third was Parshvanatha and the last known was Mahavira. Rajasthan started promoting Jainism since the time of Samrat Samprathi in 220 BC. Samrat Samprathi was the grandson of Ashoka and a follower of Jainism. Many Jain temples were built during his rule. The year 1322 of Vikram era observed the construction of Bhagwan Parshvanath Temple. It is located near the Gaumukhi kund and has four faces and hence, known as the Choumukhi Temple. Under the rule of King Mokal, thirty two temples were built here. Today you can find the remains of only six. The biggest of them is the Temple of Bhagwan Adinath with fifty two devkulikas. The place was originally named Satbis Deora after the twenty seven temples present here.

The Kumbha Shyam Temple served as a private place of worship for Meera Bai. She spent long hours here in dedication to Lord Vishnu. Benign at heart, she fed the poor and the visiting pilgrims with her personal share of wealth. Meera Bai was the follower of Guru from the holy land of Varanasi. The Kumbbha Shyam Temple has a Chattri dedicated to her guru, Swami Ravidas, who was also known as Swami Raidas. The markings of the footprints of Guru Ravidas have been preserved in this place of pilgrimage.

A very worthwhile stop between Bundi and Chittaurgarh - one of two, together with the Bijolia temples - is at the Mahanal temple complex of Menal. By a Bodhi tree on the opposite side of a new temple with an orange-painted shikara is the entrance to this area, surrounded by old walls. All buildings here are constructed in a local red sandstone, except for some decorative elements in white marble. The main temple is the 11th century Mahanaleshvara (Lord Shiva of the Gorge), since the whole site is built above a 30m drop, over which after monsoon an impressive waterfall can be seen. It was not the case, when we visited in November after a a season with weak rainfalls. Walking around the temple one will discover exquisite stone carvings. Very close by are the ruined remains of 8th century sanctuaries as well as a Torana, a free standing gate, and a Math, a former Hindu monastery. If one crosses the dried up river bed above the waterfall one comes to another Shiva temple, also with a Nandi bull in front. There are also great views over the wooded gorge and towards the Menal Resort, which is recommended for a break afterwards.
