• Chittorgarh (also spelt Chittaurgarh) was the nerve center of Rajasthani social and political life till it fell to the Mughals in the 16th century. It is said that the citadel fell hard, the women and children in the keep immolating themselves in ritual pyres as the men rode out to certain death in the hands of the gigantic Mughal army.
  
  Chittorgarh epitomizes the indomitable spirit of the warrior Rajputs and is known for Rana Pratap, the defiant tragic hero who just would not relent in the face of Mughal might, repeatedly coming up against an army large enough to swallow his meager forces several times over in desperate bids to win back the kingdom of his ancestors,
  
  You will live in the imposing Bijaipur Castle that commands a breathtaking view of the neighboring lake and villages. Visit the stunning Chhatris or cenotaphs, take jeep rides through traditional villages, or attend yoga and cookery classes at the hotel.
  
  The stunning 7th century Chittorgarh Fort on its hilltop perch, the 15th century nine-storied Vijay Stambh or victory tower, the palaces of Rana Kumbha and Queen Padmini are among the must-visit sights of Chittorgarh.
