Palace Nahargarh
is located on the way From Udaipur
to Kota Via Chittaurgarh. 35 Km from Chittaurgarh Fort. The hilltop
fortress of Chittaurgarh epitomizes the whole romantic, doomed
ideal of Rajput chivalry. Three times in its long history, Chittor
was sacked by a stronger enemy and, on each occasion, the end
carne in textbook Rajput fashion as jauhar was declared in the
face of impossible odds.
The men donned the saffron robes of martyrdom and rode out from
the fort to certain death, while the women and children immolated
themselves on a huge funeral pyre. Honour was always more important
than death.
