About Chittorgarh Tourism
While today Chittorgarh appears to be much like any other charming old town, it has quite a tumultuous past with wars and attacks. The town’s battle scars are still visible on its fort and palaces, and tend to be among the major highlights of Chittorgarh tourism in Rajasthan. Known for its monumental legacy and enduring cultural pride, a visit to Chittorgarh would allow you to walk through its ancient streets and immerse yourself in the stories etched into its stones. The city resonates with the bravery of Rajput warriors and the spiritual devotion of poet-saint Meera Bai.
Chittorgarh tourism is famed for its many historic sites. Exploring the town is somewhat like stepping into a living museum. Almost every other towering gate, intricately carved palace, and ancient temple in the town has a story to tell of undying courage, fierce battles, or cultural richness. The iconic Chittorgarh Fort is the most popular sightseeing destination of the region, and symbolises resilience and honour.
No matter whether you are a history enthusiast, a cultural traveller, or an admirer of architecture, booking a Chittorgarh tourism package would be a good idea. The grandeur, rich folklore, and timeless legacy of the town make it one of Rajasthan's most treasured destinations.
Experience The Best Of Chittorgarh
As you book a Chittorgarh tourism tour package, you must make sure that your trip itinerary includes the following attractions.
• Chittorgarh Fort: The grandeur and history of this fort make it among the biggest attractions of Chittorgarh tourism. The fort witnessed jauhars of the women of the royal family after the fort was seized repeatedly, and the walls of this fort tell the tales of their heroism, sacrifice, and culture. The massive Chittorgarh Fort was constructed in the 7th century and is spread across approximately 700 acres of land.
Chittorgarh Fort is also called the Water Fort; once upon a time, it used to have 84 water bodies, but only 22 of them are left today. The major attractions of the fort include the towers Vijay Stambh and Kirti Stambh. They are some of the key highlights of Chittorgarh tourism in Rajasthan. While Vijay Stambh refers to the tower of victory, the Kirti Stambh means the tower of fame. The towers are illuminated in the evening and provide a stunning spectacle. You can find multiple palaces and temples within the premises of the fort, the Meera Temple being the most notable one.
• Padmini Palace: This was the palace where Rani Padmini lived after she married Rawal Ratan Singh. The monument is related to the sacrifice of Rani Padmini after Chittorgarh was attacked by Alauddin Khilji, and is a part of most Chittorgarh tourism packages. Padmini Palace is a two-storey monument at the centre of the Chittorgarh Fort, and is surrounded by a lotus pool which adds to the charm of the structure. The colourful lotuses of the pool depict beauty and grace amidst the rugged Chittor Fort.
• Maha Sati: This is considered to be a sacred location in Chittorgarh as this is where the rulers of Udaipur were cremated. You will find 19 Ahar cenotaphs located here that represent the 19 rulers buried here. The architectural beauty and craftsmanship of the cenotaphs make Maha Sati worth a visit.
• Kalika Mata Temple: This temple was originally dedicated to the worship of the sun god, but was later converted into a shrine for Kalika Mata sometime in the 14th century. A visit to the Kalika Mata Temple is a popular aspect of Chittorgarh tourism. In addition to seeking the blessings of the goddess, you would get to admire the beautiful embellishments and the intricate carvings on the walls of the temple here.
• Gomukh Kund: Gau Mukh literally means the mouth of a cow. This place gets its name from the fact that water flows from the cow-shaped mouth into the kund or the reservoir here. The kund is considered to be a natural spring. You will find a Shivling and an icon of Goddess Lakshmi at the base of the Gaumukh where the water falls. Many consider the Gomukh Kund to be the "Tirth Raj'' of Chittorgarh. Many devotees and pilgrims who go on a tour of Hindu spiritual places tend to visit the Gomukh kund for the completion of their holy journey.
