Mehrangarh Fort : The 5 kms long majestic fort on 125 m high hill is one of the most impressive & formidable structures. Al though invincible from the outside, the fort has four gates approached by winding road. Within the fort are some magnificent palaces with marvelously carved panels, latticed windows and evocative names.
Noteworthy of these are the Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Sileh Khana & Daulat Khana. These Palaces house a fabulous collection of trappings of Indian royalty including a superb collection of palanquins, elephant howdahs, miniature paintings of various schools, musical instruments, costumes.
Jaswant Thada : The imposing white marble memorial marks the site of royal crematorium. It houses portraits of successive rulers. The four cenotaphs around here commemorate notable acts of bravery and generosity of the four successive rulers.
Umaid Palace : This exquisite palace is also known as Chittar Palace, Because of the local chittar sandstone used. It is a splendid example of Indo-colonial art and deco style of the 30s. A unique feature of this palace is that the hand-chiseled sandstone blocks have been put together in a special system of interlocking : there is no mortar binding.
