Chittorgarh Fort

Chittorgarh Fort is the largest fort in India and Asia — a UNESCO World Heritage Site spread over 700 acres on a 180-metre mesa in Rajasthan, the most powerful symbol of Rajput honour and valour. The site of three legendary jauhar (mass self-immolation) performances — including by Rani Padmini and 13,000 women in 1303 — the fort contains palaces, temples, towers, and reservoirs. A top Rajasthan heritage attraction and the most emotionally and historically significant fort in India.
