Cities in India

Kumbalgarh

Cradled in the cluster of thirteen mountain peaks of the Aravalli ranges, the formidable medieval citadel – Kumbhalgarh stands a wary sentinel to the past glory. Standing from a prominent ridge, 1914m high, the fort was built in 15th century AD by Maharana Kumbha (1419-63 AD) and is the principal fortification after Chittaurgarh.

Places of Interest
The massive fort, encompassed by a 36km long wall has seven majestic gates and seven ramparts, one within the other.

Fascinating chambers are built on the western side of the last gate. According to history, the infant Udai Singh (founder of Udaipur), was smuggled from Bundi and hidden in these chambers. Udai Singh ascended to the throne of Mewar with Kumbhalgarh as his residence and later established Udaipur – the beautiful lake city.

Out of the many magnificent palaces, the most picturesque is the “Badal Mahal” or the palace of the cloud. The palace has got its name for being the highest of all the structures. The ancient ruins of temples within the fort date back to the Mauryan period.  

Most of the ruins in Kumbhalgarh are of the Jain temples of various periods.

50 kms from Kumbhalgarh and 85 kms from Udaipur are the beautiful Jain temples at Ranakpur.
