  • Rajputana Heritage
    EXPLORE Masterpieces of Rajputana heritage The majestic hill forts of Rajasthan stand high in all their grandeur text | Supriya Aggarwal INDIA PERSPECTIVES n 60 n SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2015 he land of kings, the state of Rajasthan, was earlier known as Rajputana. It was divided into various regions, each ruled Tby a different clan. Over the years, these clans built historical monuments, especially forts on hills which shaped the rich cultural heritage of the state. Constructed between the 5th and 18th centuries, these hill forts are longstanding masterpieces of Rajputana heritage. At the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Cambodia, six forts of Rajasthan were declared UNESCO World Heritage sites under the group, Hill Forts of Rajasthan. Chittorgarh Fort, Chittorgarh Built by the Mauryan rulers in the 7th century, it has been named after the Mauryan ruler, Chitrangada Mori and was later ruled by the Sisodia clan. The courtyard’s history is studded with a series of palaces, gates, temples and two commemoration towers. Apart from these two, the sprawling fort has four palace complexes, 19 temples, four memorials and 20 water bodies. Constructed in two phases, the first hill fort with one main entrance was established in the 5th century and successively fortified until the 12th century. Its remains are mostly visible on the western edges of the plateau. The second structure was constructed in the 15th century during the reign of the Sisodia clan when the royal entrance was relocated and fortified with seven gates. The Kumbha Shyam Temple, Mira Bai Temple, Adi Varah Temple, Shringar Chauri Temple and Vijay Stambh were constructed in this phase that illustrate pure Rajputana style of architecture.
