Chittorgarh, also called
Chittaur, from the 7th century to the 16th, was the capital of Mewar under the
Rajputs. Chittaur evokes memories of great heroism and sacrifice by Rajput men
and women in the intermittent battles that they had to fight against invaders
from Northwest or Delhi. Chittaur witnessed both the ravages of war and the
triumphs of the spirit. Allaudin Khilji who coveted Queen Padmini of Chittaur,
invaded the city in 1303 A.D. Queen Padmini and the women of the court
sacrificed themselves in a pyre of fire rather than submit to anybody. This
supreme sacrifice has been called 'Jauhar' and epitomises the fiery spirit of
the Rajputs of the day. The city stands strewn with monuments and battlements
as evidence of the blood and gore that it went through in medieval times. If
