Kumbhalgarh Fort- The Great Wall of India


❤Dear Friends❤
🌹Happy Morning🌹
😍Sharing a brief account our country’s heritage structure
Kumbhalgarh Fort😍
💙Kumbhalgarh Fort Located 84 km north of Udaipur, in the state of
Rajasthan, in western India.💙
🧡This fort was built during the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha,
of Mewar Kingdom🧡
💚The fort is surrounded by a perimeter wall that is an
astounding 36 km long, and varies in width from 15 to 25 feet.
The massive wall at Kumbhalgarh took nearly a century to construct.💚
💛Some claim it to be the second-longest continuous wall
after the Great Wall of China. Many fondly call it The Great Wall of India.💛
🧡Maharana Kumbha used to burn massive lamps that
consumed fifty kilograms of ghee and a hundred kilograms of
cotton to provide light for the farmers who worked during the nights
in the valley. During times of danger, the fort provided refuge
for the rulers of Mewar.🧡
💜A notable instance was in the case of Prince Udai,
the infant king of Mewar who was smuggled here in 1535,
when Chittaur was under siege. Prince Udai later succeeded
to the throne and was also the founder of the Udaipur City.
The great warrior Maharana Pratap was also born inside the
fort in Badal Mahal.💜

💕Kind Regards💕
