Padmini's Palace Chittorgarh Rajasthan

For the duration of 07th to 16th century, Chittorgarh was known as 'Chittor' because of its romantic association and happened to be the capital of Mewar But, it actually got its true acknowledgment with Padmini's Palace which famed the place as ‘Land of Warriors’. It is truly a land of warriors not only because of the gallant Rajputs kings but also their wives.

The city of Chittorgarh used to have pristine glory in olden times but, now it has been converted in an industrial town. Most of its famous fortifications, grand palaces and chattris used to have great appeal but, most of them were ruined due to continuous attack by foreign aggressors. Even these remnants of ruins too tell the tale of spirit and romance of the people. Alike all those wrecked Palaces, Padmini Palace is appreciated by the voyagers because of its glorious past. It is positioned in the south of Chittorgarh and is given a feminine structure. Besides, a pool with a pavilion in its center is related to a legend still sung by birds in Rajasthan.

A brief crispy description of legendry Palace goes like this that Rani Padmini was a gorgeous queen of well known Raja Rattan Singh who ruled Chittorgarh some where around in 1300 A.D. But, once Alaudin Khilji saw the glances of Rani Padmini in a mirror when he sat by the side of the pool. He was completely besotted by her flawless beauty and decided to invade Chittor to posse her. But, tragically, Rani Padmini jumped into a lit pyre rather than offering herself in the hands of that licentious invader. This overvalued sacrifice given by Rani is called ‘Jauhar’ and represented the chivalrous guts of Rajputs. All the other Rajputs Maharanis followed the same tradition and if required did the same and after that it followed many Jauhars.

None the less, This Palace indicates the hyped valor of Chittor women. Further molestested by the Mughals, the bronze gates of this pavilion Palace were carried off by the Emperor Akbar and put up at a fort in Agra.
