Situated at a distance
of approximately 39 km of Kota, Taragarh Fort was the
home of a major generous state at the height of the Rajput
heydays. It is a huge fort built in the year 1354 AD and
reachable by a sharp pitched road leading to its main gateway.
Rampant elephants top the entry of the Taragarh Fort. It
consists of huge reservoirs carved out of solid rock and the
Bhim Burj, the largest of the fortifications, on which is
mounted a famous cannon. A brilliant bird's view of the town
from the fort is another attraction among tourists.
Taragarh Fort (Star Fort) is the most impressive of structures
of city of Bundi in Indian state of Rajasthan. There are
three gateways to the fort, well known as Lakshmi Pol, Phuta
Darwaza and Gagudi ki Phatak. Most parts of these exciting
gateways are now in ruins. During its glory days, Taragarh Fort
was renowned for its tunnels crisscrossing the entire hillside.
However, these tunnels are now unreachable for want of proper
maps. The largest of its fortifications is the 16th century
bastion known as the Bhim Burj, on which was once mounted a
mainly large cannon called Garbh Gunjam, or 'Thunder from
the Womb'.
This previous Chauhan mainstay has some huge water reservoirs.
These reservoirs were built to store water and supply it to the
people during time of crisis. The reservoirs have been carved
out of the rocky base of the fort. Rani Mahal is a tiny
palace within the fort complex, built for the wives and
concubines of rulers. The Mahal has, however lost most of its
charm as the shine of its stunning murals and stained glass
windows have completely faded away. The fort also has Miran
Saheb ki Dargah. He was the governor of the fort and laid
down his life in come across. The Adhai-din-ka-Jhonpra mosque is
about 3 km from Taragarh Fort.
