Location of Kumbhalgarh Fort:
This is the Second most important Fort of Mewar region after the Chittorgarh Fort and is located at a distance of 65 Km Northwest of Udaipur City in District Rajsamand, Rajasthan.
History of Kumbhalgarh Fort:
It was built in the 15th Century A.D. by Rana Kumbha (1419-1463 A.D.) of Mewar to which many additions were made later on. It is the birth place of the brave and legendary king of Mewar, Maharana Pratap.
Architecture of the Fort:
It is built on the top of the hill at a height of 915 meters above sea level and is surrounded by 13 mountain peaks of the Aravalli ranges. Its huge rampart walls are thick enough for eight horses to ride abreast and cover a distance of 36 Km. This wall is second only to the ‘Great Wall of China’. It has seven huge and imposing fortified gates and seven ramparts, one being folded within another with crenellated walls strengthened by rounded bastions and immense watch towers. There are 360 Temples within the Fort, out of which a Shiva Temple which has a huge idol of Shiva Lingam makes it worth visiting. This Fort remained impregnable during most of the battles and fell only once due to shortage of drinking water.
