Chittorgarh
The pride of Chittorgarh, the Chittorgarh fort, was built by the later
Maurya rulers in the 7th century A.D. It's spread over an area of
700 acres on a 180m high hill. Bhim, one of the Pandava heroes of
the Mahabharata, is associated with the fort's original construction.
One can experience all the attractions of Chittorgarh in the fort.
The main gates of the fort are Padal Pol, Hanuman Pol and Bhairon
Pol. 
Vijay
Stambh means the tower of victory. Maharana Kumbha built the Vijay
Stambh in 1440 AD to celebrate his victory over Mohamed Khilji. It
is 9 stories high and is decorated with the sculptures of Hindu deities.
It provides an entrancing sight in the evening, when it is illuminated
with bright lights.
The
most massive monument inside the Chittorgarh Fort, the Rana Kumbha
Palace is a ruined edifice of great historical and architectural interest.
It was the palace where queen Padmini and other women committed Jauhar
(self immolation) to protect their honor and pride. 
The
Stambh stands at a height of 22 meters and was built by a wealthy
Jain merchant in the 12th century AD. It is dedicated to Adinathji,
the first of the Jain Tirthankaras. 
The
famous places to see in Chittorgarh also include Padmini Palace, built
adjacent to a lotus pool. It has a legend attached to it. Ala-ud-din
saw the reflection of Queen Padmini in this pool. He was so captivated
and entranced by her that he fought a furious battle with Maharana
Ratan Singh (husband of Maharani Padmini). This battle changed the
history of Chittorgarh.
