Chittor was part of the Mewar Kingdom ruled by the legendary Bappa Rawal of Sisodia Dynasty. In 1303, the Sultan of Delhi, Allauddin Khilji was smitten by the beauty of Rani Padmini and took her husband hostage to force her to come to him. The whole incident of eventual battle and subsequent Johar is one of the most recounted stories of the Indian history.
