Chittorgarh

     Chittorgarh once was recognized as "Capital Of Mewar Kingdom". Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I happened to visit Chittorgarh when I was living in Udaipur and got a chance to visit a few historical sites. Below are the few pictures that I took during my visit. I hope you all like it.
