| 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.
