Chittorgarh, a historic city in Rajasthan, India, has a rich history of battles and conquests. One notable event in its history is the capture of Chittorgarh by the Delhi Sultanate in the early 14th century.
In 1303 on 26 August , Alauddin Khilji, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, led a campaign to capture Chittorgarh. The city was ruled by Ratan Singh at the time. The siege was intense and lasted for several months. Ultimately, due to a combination of factors including shortages of food and water, the defenders of Chittorgarh were forced to surrender.
This event marked a significant turning point in the history of Chittorgarh and the region. The capture of the city by Alauddin Khilji is often remembered as a symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and the unwavering spirit of the people of Chittorgarh. The legendary story of Rani Padmini, the queen of Chittorgarh, who committed Jauhar (self-immolation) to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy, is also closely associated with this event.
Chittorgarh's history is filled with tales of valor and resistance against various invaders, and its story continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for many in India.
