Chittaurgarh was a fortified citadel with a valiant but turbulent history. It was built in the 7th<\/sup> Century by the Maurya dynasty and was often under attack. Under the notions of Rajput chivalry, the people of Chittaur always chose death over surrender, and in that process, its women and children committed Jauhar and its men marched into war despite certain death, three times before Chittaurgarh was completely abandoned.<\/p>\n

In the 16th<\/sup> century, the citadel came under attack three times by the Mughal Empire, and the third time around, Rana Udai Singh fled Chittaur to establish a new capital, now known as Udaipur. He left behind two 16-year-old heroes; Jaimal of Bednore and Patta of Kelwa to defend the city and they did just that valiantly until they attained martyrdom.<\/p>\n

With such an illustrious history, Chittaurgarh is a great destination for tourist buffs.<\/p>\n
