माँ भारती के अमर सपूत, स्वाधीनता के कालजयी स्वर, त्याग व बलिदान की उज्ज्वल कीर्ति पताका, 'हिंदुआ सूर्य' वीर शिरोमणि महाराणा प्रताप की पावन जयंती पर नमन।
मातृभूमि के गौरव और स्वाभिमान की रक्षा हेतु आपका अदम्य साहस एवं सर्वस्व समर्पण, युगों-युगों तक भारतीय जनमानस को अन्याय के विरुद्ध अडिग रहने और राष्ट्रनिष्ठा की प्रेरणा देता रहेगा।
I visited the Chittorgarh Fort when I was 10, on a family holiday.
Have never been back.
But I should.
Because when I checked online, it turns out it’s the largest fort in the world!
Approximate Global Ranking:
🥇 Chittorgarh Fort, India ~700 acres (2.8 sq. km)
🥈 Kumbhalgarh Fort, India ~1,100 acres (4.5 sq. km), walls 36 km long
🥉 Nanjing City Wall, China
Yes, Kumbhalgarh is the second largest in the world.
(Chittorgarh and Kumbhalgarh are fort cities, not boundary walls.
They enclosed self-sufficient communities and were built to withstand sieges, not to demarcate empires.)
And yet, they rarely appear on the ‘must-visit’ lists for global travellers.
They’re not even on the extended Rajasthan “Golden Circuit”:
Jaipur → Jodhpur → Jaisalmer → Udaipur.
We need to tell their stories differently.
“A kingdom that refused to yield. A fort that never fell.”
Illustrate these stories through specialised experiences:
sunset drives along the ramparts, private storytelling sessions, and expanded comfortable accommodation.
We already have a Club Mahindra at Kumbhalgarh, and we’re pleased to have helped build its popularity.
Perhaps it’s time for one at Chittorgarh too.

Indian Army releases first footage of its serial smashing of Pakistan Army terrorist launchpads along the LoC. First depiction of weapons—mortars, artillery, RPGs, ATGMs and more. 🔥🇮🇳
Proud of our armed forces.
#OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam.
The Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people. Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.
