Forts of Rajathsan
The rajputs were prolific builders who left behind a legacy of some of the most imposing and magnificent forts and palaces in the world. A bid for survival in the harsh Thar Desert and a history replete with valour, romance and tragedy: the forts and palaces of Rajasthan are a microcosm of the images from the past. Cities, towns and villages - all had their forts and protective ramparts. It was customary to build the palace within the fort, outside which lay the city, enclosed within a fortified wall, as in Jaipur and Udaipur. Some forts occupies commanding heights on hills overlooking the city, as in Jodhpur and Alwar. At Amber and Bundi, the ramparts start at the base of the hill, the palace stands against the hillside, while the fort is on the summit. In Jaisalmer, Jumbhalgarh and Chittaur, the entire settlement is within the fortifications as enclosed unit, while the Bharatpur and Deeg forts had moats. And the palaces set in the sylvan setting of gardens, delicately constructed pavilions and the gaily sprinkling fountains
The 14th century Taragarh Fort sprawls on top of 500 ft hill. There are huge water reservoirs inside the fort. It has strong battlements and bastions. The Bhim Burj housed the huge 16th century Garbh Ganjam cannon reputed to burst the eardrums with its noise. Below Taragarh is the Bundi Palace, which is a typical example of architecture. In Ratan Daulat, the chamber of public audience, stands a simple white marble throne. The Chhatra Mahal has beautiful wall paintings of the Bundi School. Ratan Mahal has many pillars, each mounted with four small black-stone elephants. The Zanana Mahal and Badal Mahal also have very good wall paintings. In Chitra Shala, once can see the best of Bundi wall paintings in varied themes.
Amidst beautifully laid garden, a top the bund of Jait Sagar is the Sikh Niwas. There are some very good sculptures in the garden.
The Phool Sagar Palace, about 10 kms west of Bundi, is an excellent structure. The location is well planned, as also the decoration of this Rajput edifice.
