The building was built between 1442 and 1449 in honour of Rana Kumbha&#8217;s victory over Mahmud Khalji and is the pride of Chittorgarh or Chittor Fort.

It&#8217;s made of red sandstone, with some white marble thrown in for good measure. The monument is adorned with finely sculpted Hindu deity figurines.
