Chittorgarh
The older of Chittorgarh's two great towers, the Kirti Stambha, was built in the 12th century by a Jain merchant and is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara. Its exterior is covered in stunning Jain iconography and it stands as a testament to the flourishing of Jainism under Rajput patronage.
Photography is permitted and the intricate bas-reliefs on the tower exterior are best photographed in soft morning light.
