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.

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.

During our Chittaurgarh fort trip..it is just before the Kirti stambh.. This gateway has historical impact..as well as one can cross the gate and can get breathe taking valley view here.. It is said that this gate on the back side of the fort is made during Mughal attack to make an alternate exit way for the residents..of the fort..
