Therefore, it has always attracted tourists from every corner of the world. In the wake of World Heritage week we proudly bring forward to you the story of the fort of Mewar which is not just famous in the country but world over for its architectural excellence and exceptional bravery of its rulers. Perching on the hilltop at a height of 180 metres from ground level this historical monument dates back its construction back to seventh century.  It is believed to be the home of Sisodiya and Gehlot dynasties from eighth till sixteenth century. It was 1568 when Mughal ruler Akbar won over the fort and took it under his possession. It is also heard that this fort of Maurya dynasty also came under attack by Allauddin Khilji a couple of times in fifteenth and sixteenth century.

Visiting the Fort with Feet of Stone

The every aspect of this monument is being regarded as a story and elegance and marvel. Having already achieved a level of success at international level it leaves a little to imagination that how grand, important, coveted the place must have been during the country life. Considering the massive premises and the height it is being made at it becomes a tedious task to explore its every corner, therefore, it is prevalent that one should have feet of stone to complete this tiresome task. The most spectacular feature of this fort is the seven gates which cannot be seen anywhere else. Besides this there are a lot of old and ancient temples within the premises. These temples provide a spectacular view for candid photography. There are two strong and formidable stone pillars which are known as Keerti Stambh and Vijay Stambh. Both of these pillars are massive and cut out beautifully to become one of the most famous sites of tourists.

A horde of warriors

This city is also called a city of warriors and the fort at the hilltop is the home of all these warriors. This fort palace has seen the rise and fall of many rulers and since then has been a witness to history and evidence of grandness of the life of rulers.

World’s longest fort

Spread over an area of 700 acres and perching over a hill at the height of 500 metres this fort is believed to be the longest in the world. Getting to the fort is an adventurous journey in itself where one goes through the warped alleys travelling by the steep ways taking towards the top of the hill. The variant doors that come on the way to the fort have been named after the gods and goddesses of Hindu belief and are called Paidal Pol, Bhairav Pol, Hanuman Pol, Ganesh Pol, Joli Pol, Lakshman Pol and Ram Pol.  Mehrangarh Fort of Jodhpur enjoys the same prestige as the Chittorgarh Fort of Mewar. This used to be an inherent part of the dynasty till the sixteenth century and ever since has been famous strong fortresses, entrance, palaces, temples, moats and masterpieces of Rajput art and craft.

Sacrifice for honour, Dignity and Pride

The Rana Kumbha palace inside the fort is the epitome of beautifully crafted grandeur. The Jheena Rani palace, the huge domes, Gau Mukh Kund, are the places to be seen. It is said that queens and her henchwomen and confidantes performed the johar near the Gau Mukh Kund. The Johar was performed after the Mughal emperors defeated the Mewar army, wherein the whole lot of females of the dynasty jumped in the fire for self-immolation. Their sacrifice and warmth can still be felt at the place.

Kumbhshyam Temple & Vijay Stambh

Kumbhshyam temple is situated in the south of the fort. This is the historical famous temple of Meera Bai. Vijay stambh is situated near this temple. This nine-floor extravagant tower was built in 1437 by Rana Kumbha to commemorate his victory over the Sultan of Malwa. It is where Allauddin Khilji saw Rani Padmini.

A window to History: - Abhanari

There is hardly any place on the globe that outdoes India with regards to culture and tradition. Every few miles in India give birth to a new art form. This majestic and time tested art and tradition of India is evident in many palaces, forts and stories and tales of India. One such place that is famous for its unique architectural patters is Abhaneri situated in the Dausa district of Rajathan.

As the name suggests Abhaneri casts an ‘Abha’ that can be interpreted as imagery in English of the old life and times. Situated on the Jaipur Agra Road, a few kms away from Sikandra, this small town used to be the capital of the sprawling lands of Rajas.

Rajas were known as Raja Bhoj and Raja Chandra in those times. Going by the determinations of the archaeological departments the forts of Abhaneri can easily be a whooping three thousand year old property, based on the calculations and facts available. It is believed that gurjar Maharaja Samrat Mihir Bojh once ruled at the property. He was also known as Raja Chand.

The Abhaneri fort wasn’t originally named Abhaneri initially. It was called Abhanagri. Eventually with time it was given the name. Raja Chand constructed a number of magical things and places here which made the Turkey invaders get envious of his accomplishments and broke them.

Even today the remnants of the pieces of sculptures and architecture speak volumes about the grandeur and majestic constructions. They speak volumes about the excellence and epitome of architecture. Immersed amidst the abstracts of nature the art form here seems to be weeping and whining exuding the pain of ravin and despoliation it suffered years back. It seems to be flashing a smile at the same time because even the contemporary scientists with upmarket and upgraded technology cannot make and match up to the excellence of architecture and stone art. Many of the artefacts procured from the Abhaneri fort have been installed and kept in the Albert Hall Museum, which is enlisted among the places to visit in Jaipur.

Harshat Mata Mandir & Chand Bavdi 

  Abhaneri got noticed and highlighted on a global level once when the archaeological department procured and recovered the relics of third and fourth century from the venue. Later the archaeological department confiscated the items at the property and took it under their own ownership. Now the Harshat Mandir and Chand Bavdi of Abhaneri are National Preserved Memorials. Situated on the golden triangle of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra the number of visitors are increasing here with every passing year. Its situation as Jaipur Agra highway and proximity to the city of Jaipur has definitely helped it in gaining better tourists. It is about 95 kms away from the city of Jaipur. It is basically situated on the Jaipur-Agra Road, a few kms away from Sikandra. Jaipur is famous for its Rajputi food like Daal Baati Choorma. To get the taste of Rajasthani Platter, visit Virasat SheeshMahal, which is among the Best Restaurants in Jaipur.

The Dravid Style of South

Currently Abhaneri is a small village. What is found from the sources is that Raja Chand used to rule here in the ninth century. He was the same king who ruled over the Gurjar dynasty. A lover of architecture and art Raja Chand constructed a number of memorials and monuments during his reign. The design patters of those times were highly influences by the Dravid pattern of style that belong the Southern part of the country. He also constructed the Harshat Mandir and Chand Bavri is his princely state. Both the monuments are a symbol and signifier of old architectural patterns and style. Chand Bavdi is situated exactly in front of the Harshat Mandir.
