Situated on the left bank of the Berach River, on the foothill of the Aravalli hill range, Chittorgarh is one of the popular tourist places in Rajasthan. The fort is historically very significant for the Rajputs and has given birth to some of the greatest Rajput warriors. The story of the Chittorgarh is mainly attached to Chittorgarh Fort which is spread over 700 acres, it was constructed by Mauryans between the 5th and 8th centuries, hence it was named after the Mauryan ruler, Chitrangada Mori. As per historical records, the fort was the capital of Mewar for about 834 years. It was founded by Bappa Rawal who was the founder ruler in the hierarchy of the Sisodia rulers of Mewar in 734. It is also said that the fort was presented to Bappa Rawal as part of the Solanki princess’s dowry in the 8th century. It is full of Hindu, Muslim, and Jain constructions. It is also known as the land of devotion and strength.

The astonishing battles fought in this fort give Chittaur its aura. It faced three sieges, and each time the women and children committed Jauhar (mass suicide) in the face of defeat.

The Rana Kumbha's Palace is the most popular attraction of Chittorgarh. It is located within the premises of the Chittaurgarh Fort. The Palace was constructed in 734 AD by Bappa Rawal. This palace was also associated with Rani Padmini of Chittorgarh, the wife of King Rawal Ratan Singh.

Legend says that the great Muslim warrior Ala-Ud-Din Khilji, having heard of her beauty, wanted to see her, and her husband King Ratan Singh allowed her can be seen in a mirror, but when he saw her, the beauty of the queen charmed the warrior who soon waged a war against the king to possess her. The first Jauhar of Chittor took place in 1303. The men went out to meet their death fighting while Rani Padmini led the women to mass suicide rather than face dishonour.
