Flashback
On May 12th 1459, Rao Jodha - the Rajput ruler laid down the foundation of
the largest Fort of India. It was constructed to give a safer place to the
king Jodha. At the time of foundation there on the hill called Bahuchera
where the Fort was bult, there was only one lone resident, a hermit called
Cheeria Nathji. He did leave the place for the Fort but with a curse of
water scaracity in the Fort. Later on, on the completion of the fort, King
Jodha made a residential place for the hermit where he reside for years.
Though the Fort was made by King Rao Jodha, today what we see has a
major portion made by King Jaswant Singh Rao(1638-78). Inside the palace
there are seven pols(gates) to commomerate various victories, the queens
palace(Moti Mahal) and other residential complexes.
