The Chittorgarh Fort, also known as Chittor, is a massive hilltop fort located in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is considered one of the largest forts in India and is a symbol of Rajput pride, valor, and heritage. The fort has a long and rich history dating back to the 7th century and has been the site of several battles and sieges.

The fort sits on a hill overlooking the town of Chittorgarh and covers an area of around 700 acres. It has several gates, including the main gate known as the "Padal Pol" and the "Bassi Pol", as well as several temples, palaces, and reservoirs. The most famous temple within the fort is the Vijay Stambh, a nine-story tower that was built to commemorate a victory over the Sultan of Malwa.

In addition to its historical significance, the Chittorgarh Fort is also known for its architectural beauty and is a popular tourist destination in India. Visitors can explore the fort's many monuments and structures, including the Rana Kumbha Palace, the Kirti Stambh, and the Padmini's Palace.
