The Fort City - Chittor

Chittorgarh lies at the foot of a hill on which stands Chittor fort. From the 8th century to the 16th it remained the capital of the state of Mewar and was the h4hold of the Sisodia Rajputs. It was thrice besieged by Muslim attackers: Ala-ud-Din Khalji (1303), Bahadur Shah of Gujarat (1534–35), and the Mughal emperor Akbar (1567–68). In each case the defenders chose death for themselves and jauhar (collective immolation) for their families rather than surrender. After Chittorgarh's capture by Akbar (1568), the capital of Mewar was transferred from there to Udaipur.
