Day 1

Vijay Stambh (Tower of Victory)

Nine storeys and about thirty-seven metres, raised by Rana Kumbha of Mewar in 1448 to mark his defeat of Mahmud Khilji's Malwa army at Sarangpur. It is dedicated to Vishnu and carved over almost every surface, inside and out, with figures from the Hindu pantheon — James Tod, the first British chronicler of Rajputana, rated it above the Qutb Minar. It stands inside Chittor Fort, itself UNESCO-listed with the other hill forts of Rajasthan. The stair inside is narrow and unlit in places: worth climbing for the view over the plateau, but not if you dislike enclosed spaces.
