Chitoor

Two hours from Udaipur lies the small unimpressive town of Chitoor.

Chitoors only attraction is its fort. And that to is unimpressive. There is beauty though, but this lies in it's romantic tryst with the ideals of the warrior. On three separate occasions in it's history, facing defeat from a surrounding enemy, instead of surrendering their lot, they committed the act of jauhar: both men and women, against all odds, rode out to die.
