The fort has witnessed three bloody sieges and 'Jauhars' (a Rajput tradition in which all ladies sacrifice their life by putting themselves in the fire to save their honor from the cruel hands of the enemy, when there is no chance of defeating enemy. The walls and the atmosphere is still haunted with gloom of dispair, heroic pride of the Rajput Queens and ladies.

This place is very nice to visit. Rajasthan has many forts and all are made brilliantly. I have visited many such forts and like visiting them again and again. They have rich Indian history of Rajput kings.

Very interesting. This Rajput tradition in which ladies sacrifice their life reminds me of a scene in the movie "Around The World In Eighty Days" starring David Niven. His character in the movie, in fact rescued a woman who was supposed to sacrifice her life. Have you ever seen that movie?
It's definitely worth watching.
Thank you for the picture of Chittorgarh Fort and the information about this ancient building and its story. I enjoyed reading it.
