    STATE OF CONSERVATION OF WORLD HERITAGE PROPERTIES Name of World Heritage property: Hill Forts of Rajasthan State Party: India Identification number: 247rev Date of Inscription: 2013 Criteria: (ii) (iii) Introduction Within the State of Rajasthan, six extensive and majestic forts together reflect the elaborate, fortified seats of power of Rajput princely states that flourished between the 8th and 18th centuries. The extensive fortifications, up to 20 kilometres in circumference, optimized various kinds of terrain, hilly at Chittuargarh, Kumbhalgarh and Amer, riverside at Gagron, the dense forests at Ranthambore, and the desert at Jaisalmer, exhibit an important phase in the development of an architectural typology based on established “traditional Indian principles of fortifications”. The vocabulary of architectural forms shares much common ground with other greater styles, such as Sultanate and Mughal forts. Rajput style was not ‘unique’, but the particular manner in which Rajput architecture was eclectic (drawing inspiration from antecedents and neighbours) together with its degree of influence over later regional styles (such as Maratha architecture) do make it distinctive. As a former capital of the Sisodia clan and the target of three famous historical sieges, Chittorgarh is strongly associated with Rajput history and folklore. Furthermore the sheer number and variety of architectural remains dating from the 8th to the 16th centuries, mark it as an exceptional fort in its scale and monumentality comparable to very few other Indian forts. Kumbhalgarh was constructed in a single process and (apart from the palace of Fateh Singh, added later) retains its architectural coherence. Its design is attributed to an architect known by name –Mandan – who was also an author and theorist at the court of Rana Kumbha in Chittorgarh.
