Within the State of Rajasthan, six extensive and majestic hill forts together reflect the elaborate, fortified seats of power of Rajput princely states that flourished between the 8th and 18th centuries and their relative political independence. This card shows Vijay Sthambh (Tower of Victory) at Chittorgarh Fort, one of the largest fort of India spread over 700 acres and situated on a high hill near the Gambheri River. This massive fort has marked his own place for bravery and sacrifice of Rajputs. The fort has seven large gates, four palace complexes, many temples and several stepwells and ponds. Vijay Sthambh is dedicated to Vishnu, the preserver god, one of the three main gods in Hinduism.
