Kumbhalgarh Fort Rajasthan: Must Visit Place

The term Rajasthan conjures up a myriad of images: vibrant turbans, mouthwatering cuisine, friendly locals, regal palaces, and massive forts that greet you everywhere you go. The state's magnificent forts serve as the best reminder of its illustrious history. They serve as more than simply sagas carved in stone; they also serve as a tribute to the Rajputs' bravery and unflappable character.

The spectacular and majestic Kumbhalgarh fort in the Rajsamand district, however, is the fort that most personifies the spirit and majesty of Rajasthan. This architectural wonder, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built in the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha.

History

This fort was an expert construction over a 15-year period under the direction of Mandan. It is the renowned architect of Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajasthan. The place is precisely between eleven peaks of the Aravalli hills. Perhaps, this is one of the most significant and perhaps the only impenetrable forts in the state due to its strategic location on a high ridge hidden by the nearby peaks. It was only ever taken by the Mughal army by trickery. It was likely when they tainted the fort's water supply, never by force. However, Kumbhalgarh Palace enjoys a particularly unique position in history and in the hearts of the Rajputs as the birthplace of the renowned Maharana Pratap.

Every night at 6:45 PM, a mesmerising sight called the light and sound show takes place. This 45-minute production brings the history of the Mewar Rajput dynasty and the fort to life. Since the lighting within the fort is inadequate, you bring a torch with you. Tickets for the performance are INR 50 for kids and INR 100 for adults.
Following the performance, there is lightening in the whole fort for an hour, imbuing it with a mystical air. This is a fantastic moment to take those breathtaking pictures.
