History of Taragarh
Fort |
|
The main attraction in Bundi is the
Taragarh or the Star Fort. The Taragarh Fort was built in 1354 AD. The
fort is one of the most impressive forts of Rajasthan. This fort is
perched on a thickly wooded hill with a huge reservoir which once
supplied water to the palace. Taragarh Fort is reached by steep road
leading up the hillside to its enormous gateway.
Inside the ramparts are huge reservoirs carved out of solid rock, and
the Bhim Burj, the largest of the battle fields, on which there is
mounted a famous cannon. The view of the town and surrounding
countryside from the top of the fort are magical, especially at
sunset. |
