 Chittaurgarh-The town of the brave, known for its massive fort
atop a hill, which can be singled out for its glorious past.
The fort has checkered history, it has witnessed some of the
bloodiest battles iln history, three great Sakas and some of
the most heroic deeds of valor, which are still sung by the
local musicians. The antiquity of Chittaurgarh is difficult
to trace, but it is believed that Bhim the legendary figure
of the Mahabharta, visited this place to learn the secrets
of immortality and became the disciple of a sage, but his impatience
to perform all the rites deprived him of his goal, and out of
sheer anger he stamped on ground creating water reservoir, this
reservoir is called as Bhim Lat. Later on, it came under the
Mauryas or Muri Rajputs, there are different opinions as to
when ilt came under the Mewar ruler, but it remained the capital
of Mewar till 1568, when it was shifted to Udaipur.
It is believed that Bappa Rawal the legendary founder of the
Sisodia clan, received Chittaur in the middle of 8th century,
as a part of the dowry after marriage with the last Solanki
princess, after that his descendants ruled Mewar which stretched
from Gujarat to Ajmer, upto the 16th century.
