Chittaurgarh - The town of the brave, known for its massive fort atop a
hill, which can be singled out for its glorious past. 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. |
The fort of Chittaur has witnessed the most bloody
sacrifices in the history of Rajasthan. The fort has remained the mute spectator to the stories of the eternal beauty Padmini and the great saint poetess Meera.
