• Chittorgarh Fort - Inside the fort, a circular road allows access to all the gates and monuments within the fort walls. Originally, the fort had 84 water bodies, but now only 22 remain. These water bodies, fed by natural catchment and rainfall, have a combined storage capacity of 4 billion liters, sufficient to meet the water needs of an army of 50,000 for four years. These water bodies include ponds, wells, and step wells.

The fort features seven gates (“Pol” in the local language), namely Padan Pol, Bhairon Pol, Hanuman Pol, Ganesh Pol, Jodla Pol, Laxman Pol, and the main entry gate, Ram Pol (Lord Rama’s Gate). All the fort’s gateways are constructed as massive stone structures with secure fortifications for military defense. The gates’ doors, with pointed arches, are reinforced to withstand elephants and cannon shots. The tops of the gates have notched parapets for archers to target the enemy army.

• Vijay Stambha - The Vijay Stambha (Victory Tower) or Jay Stamba, a symbol of Chittor and a bold expression of triumph, was erected by Rana Khumba between 1458 and 1468 to commemorate his victory over Mahmud Shah I Khalji, the Sultan of Malwa, in 1440 AD. Built over ten years, it rises 37.2 m (122 ft) above a 4.4 m² (47 ft²) base in nine stories, accessed through a narrow circular staircase of 157 steps (the interior is also carved) up to the 8th floor, offering a good view of the plains and the new town of Chittor. The dome, a later addition, was damaged by lightning and repaired in the 19th century. The Stamba is now illuminated in the evenings, providing a beautiful view.

• Tower of Fame (Kirti Stambh) - Kirti Stambha (“Fame Tower”) is a 22 m (72 ft) high tower built on a 9.1 m (30 ft) base with 4.6 ft (1.4 m) at the top, adorned with Jain sculptures on the outside. It is older (probably 12th century) and smaller than the Victory Tower. Built by a Bagherwal Jain merchant, Jijaji Rathod, it is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain tirthankar (revered Jain teacher). On the lowest floor of the tower, naked figures of various tirthankars of the Jain pantheon are seen in special niches. A narrow stairway with 54 steps leads through the six stories to the top. The top pavilion, added in the 15th century, has 12 columns.

• Rana Kumbha Palace - Near the entrance gate by the Vijaya Stamba, Rana Kumbha’s palace (in ruins), the oldest monument, is located. The palace included elephant and horse stables and a temple to Lord Shiva. Maharana Udai Singh, the founder of Udaipur, was born here; the popular folklore linked to his birth is that his maid Panna Dhay saved him by substituting her son in his place as a decoy, resulting in her son’s death by Banbir. The prince was spirited away in a fruit basket. The palace is built with plastered stone. A remarkable feature of the palace is its splendid series of canopied balconies. Entry to the palace is through Suraj Pol, leading into a courtyard. Rani Meera, the famous poetess saint, also lived in this palace. This is also the palace where Rani Padmini consigned herself to the funeral pyre in one of the underground cellars, as an act of jauhar along with many other women. The Nau Lakha Bandar (literal meaning: nine lakh [900,000] treasury)

• Padmini’s Palace - This palace, a white building, a three-storied structure (a 19th-century reconstruction of the original), is located in the southern part of the fort. Chhatris (pavilions) crown the palace roofs, and a water moat surrounds the palace. This style of palace became the forerunner of other palaces built in the state with the concept of Jal Mahal (palace surrounded by water). It is at this Palace where Alauddin was permitted to glimpse the mirror image of Rani Padmini, wife of Maharana Rattan Singh. It is widely believed that this glimpse of Padmini’s beauty besotted him and convinced him to destroy Chittor to possess her. Maharana Rattan Singh was killed, and Rani Padmini committed Jauhar. Rani Padmini’s beauty is compared to that of Cleopatra, and her life story is an eternal legend in the history of Chittor, in particular, and of the Mewar state in general.

• Shri Digamber Jain Adinath Temple - Currently, there are six Jain temples on the fort of Chittor. The largest and chief among them is the temple of Bhagawan Adinatha with fifty-two devkulikas. The place of this temple is known as ‘Sattavish devri’. It means that at some time in the past, there were twenty-seven temples here. The Digambar Jain Kirtistambh and seven-storied Kirtistambh are two among them. The seven-storied Kirtistambh was built in the fourteenth century in memory of Bhagawan Adinatha.

• Meera Temple - Built by Maharana Kumbha in 1449, this Lord Vishnu Temple has beautiful idols in its sanctum, mandap, and pillars. In the same premises, there is a small temple of Lord Krishna.
