Fateh Prakash Palace, Chittourgarh

Chittourgarh
Fort is a massive structure with a 1 kilometre zigzag accent to it. The road
leads through seven gates to the main gate Rampol (meaning Gate of Ram). On
the climb between the second and third gate you see two Chattris cenotaphs built
to honour Jaimull and Kulla heroes of 1568 siege by Emperor Akbar.
The main gate of the fort itself is Surajpol (meaning Sun Gate). Within the
fort a circular runs around the ruins of the fort. According to often told legend
the construction of the fort was started by Bhim a Pandav hero of mythological
epic Mahabharata.
The fort has many magnificent monuments. Akbar carried away all the distinctive
pieces of architecture and sculpture and placed them in his capital. These are
still manifested in the fort of Agra. Even though the fort is ruin but it is
an overwhelming reminder of past history and its walls resonate with unbelievable
legend of extra ordinary men and women and their equally astounding deeds.
