Visit the Memorable Town of Chitodgarh in the State of Rajasthan in India

The State of Rajasthan in India is full of the historical monuments that tell us about the bravery of Rajputs. Each city and fort of Rajasthan has a blood shed history of its own and when we see any such place, be sure that the blood of thousands of patriotic Rajputs would have flowed at that place. Chitodgarh is one such place that is visited by thousands of tourists even today to see and feel the extreme bravery of the Rajput kings and their soldiers.

Chitodgarh was the capital city of Mevad, where King Udaysinh was ruling. He was fed up with the attacks of Mogul King Akbar and when King Akbar took possession of this fort in the year 1567, King Udaisinh has to run away to the Mountain range of Arvalli. Then, King Udaisinh established Udaipur as the capital of Mevad, based on the advice given by many palmists. Chitodgarh is also famous for the beauty of queen Padhmini. The mogul King Alloudin Khilji fell in love with the queen Padhmini and attacked the fort. The Rajput kings fought bravely but finally lost against the massive Mogul army. Thousands of Rajput soldiers died in the war. The queen Padhmini burnt herself alive in fire after the war.
