Pre-historic forts of Rajasthan tracing in the Chambal River
As a jewel of Indian architectural heritage, Rajasthan has been sparkling with outstanding array of Hill forts that signifies the architectural expertise & cultural abundance of Indians. Chittor Fort – Chittorgarh, hanging on a rock-strewn hill, this challenging fort acts as a sign of pride & resilience of Rajput & Mughal’s participation in architecture.
By means of remarkable structures like Kirti Stambh & Vijay Stambh, Chittor Fort is the largest fort in India. The gigantic walls, intricate carvings & delicate architecture helped in gaining a remarkable label as one of the most important elements of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Erecting on the banks of Parvan River, the Shergarh fort was a deliberated architecture monument of strategic Indian rulers. The area of the fort spans around 16km2. Originally there are eight domes in the main entrance which is a lake named as Rani Pokhra, but currently there are only five domes. The dedicated & thoughtfully designed jails in the fort with detailed interiors & courtyards indicate a wealthy lifestyle of Royal occupants.
Furthermore, the high towers & turrets present a panoramic sight view of the entire landscape & the sprawling gardens compliments the magnificent forts. These forts are making us to wonder that all the architectures designs are mainly constructed with the local materials such as marble & stone.
