★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kirti Stambh ✨
This 22m high, 6 storey tower situated on the eastern side of the Chittorgarh fort, was built in the 12th century.
Dedicated to Adinath (the first Jain tirthankar), it was constructed in Solanki style architecture for the glory of Jainism.
Chittorgarh fort is the largest fort in India, which extends to an area of 3kms and peripheral length of 13kms, summing up to over 700acres of land !!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From Suraj Pol proceed towards north to reach Jain keerthi Stambh that is 75 feet in height and dedicated to Sri Adinathji and is supposed to be constructed in 12th century. It is shaking slightly and therefore not safe to go up. Next to it is the Jain temple which was restored during maharani Kumbha’s period in 1438 AD by Oswal Mahajan Gunraj. It has excellent carvings on the walls. No word to say about this palace. What a architecture. Wowwsome design every stone's own story
A architecture art unmatched sample Whenever come here you please definitely watch this JAIN Art pillar. Every stone's have own design.Very high like watch tower. Please respect our architect. This is priceless

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Kirti Stambha, also known as the Tower of Fame is a Jain structure next to the Shri Digamber Jain Adinath Temple and just north of Suraj Pole gate on the eastern side of the Chittorgarh complex. Like the Vijay Stambh, this tower is also richly decorated on the exterior, however, you wouldn’t immediately know this was a Jain structure until you see that 2 of niches on the 2nd storey contain sculptures of Jain tirthankars.
Beautiful structure to look at, pity it’s not possible to climb up.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Historical monument inside the Chittor Fort of Chittaurgarh, Rajasthan. The height of this tower is 72 feet. Excellent view from all angles and a photogenic spot. Ancient architecture at its best. It was built by a jain merchant Jeeja Bhagerwala during the ruling of Rawal Ratan Singh. A must visit place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the major attractions of the Chittorgarh fort complex, this structure is as similar as Vijay stambha. Unlike Vijay stambha there is no provision of stairs inside the Kirti stambha.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Vijaya Stambha is an imposing victory monument located within Chittor Fort in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India. The tower was constructed by the Hindu king Rana Kumbha of Mewar in 1448 to commemorate his victory over the combined armies of Malwa and Gujarat sultanates led by Mahmud Khilji. The tower is dedicated to Hindu God Vishnu.[1][2]
The inscribed slabs in the uppermost storey containing a detailed genealogy of the rulers of Chittaur and their deeds is ascribed to Ran Kumbha court scholar, Atri and his son Mahesh. The names of the architect, Sutradhar Jaita and his three sons who assisted him, Napa, Puja, and Poma, are carved on the fifth floor of the tower.[1]
The Vijaya Stambha is a remarkable example of religious pluralism practised by the Rajputs. The topmost storey features an image of the Jain Goddess, Padmavati.[3][4]The inscribed slabs in the uppermost storey containing a detailed genealogy of the rulers of Chittaur and their deeds is ascribed to Ran Kumbha court scholar, Atri and his son Mahesh.
