    Built during the 18th century by Biherwal Mahajan Sanaya, Kirti Stambh is dedicated to Rishabha, the first Tirthankara of Jainism. This seven storied tower has an impressive five-feet-high statue of the Rishabha. Nestled in the Chittorgarh fort, this fort is built in Solanki architecture. There is a narrow stairway which leads through the seven storeys to the top. On the top floor there is an observation hall which offers a panoramic view of Chittorgarh city. A large number of followers of Jainism come to the tower to worship Lord Adinath.

    It is a bit smaller than the other Tower but it is still worth the visit with an amazing view on the other side of the mountain. There is also a temple next to it.

    Such a beautiful master piece.. The detailing and interior is just mesmerizing. No machine back then, only with the help of few tools they built such an intricate tower. According to the document, it has been 720 years now. We the Indians should preserve and value all these monuments that the early kings built. Wonderful experience ❤️❤️❤️

    The Vijaya Stambha is an imposing victory monument located within Chittor Fort in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India. The tower was constructed by the Hindu king Rana Kumbha of Mewar in 1448 to commemorate his victory over the combined armies of Malwa and Gujarat sultanates led by Mahmud Khilji. The tower is dedicated to Hindu God Vishnu.[1][2] The inscribed slabs in the uppermost storey containing a detailed genealogy of the rulers of Chittaur and their deeds is ascribed to Ran Kumbha court scholar, Atri and his son Mahesh. The names of the architect, Sutradhar Jaita and his three sons who assisted him, Napa, Puja, and Poma, are carved on the fifth floor of the tower.[1] The Vijaya Stambha is a remarkable example of religious pluralism practised by the Rajputs. The topmost storey features an image of the Jain Goddess, Padmavati.[3][4]The inscribed slabs in the uppermost storey containing a detailed genealogy of the rulers of Chittaur and their deeds is ascribed to Ran Kumbha court scholar, Atri and his son Mahesh.

    !!! Closed now.!!! Kirti Stambh is one of the major tourist spot in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan state which was constructed during 12th century. Let us tell you that this pillar is 220 meters tall which is considered to be a major pilgrimage by the followers of Jainism. Let us tell you that this tower was built during the reign of Raja Rawal Kumar Singh by a Jain merchant “Bagher Vanshiya Shah Jija”. So that Jainism can be glorified. Let us tell you that Kirti Stambh is also known as Tower of Fame which is dedicated to Rishabh doing the first pilgrimage. This pillar is famous for the intricate carvings of the Digambara sect. The statue of Adityanath remains in this storied tower. Along with this, the pictures of various Jain saints have been engraved on the four corners of the pillar which make this pillar even more attractive. !!!!! Closed now. !!!!!

    What a majestic representative of the royalty of medieval India. Stunningly ornate stone carvings, impressive architecture and great view. The damages caused by raiders to the beautiful sculptures is also reflective of the barbarism that the fort and the region has suffered over the centuries. The area is utterly photogenic in all seasons. A tourist's and photographer's paradise. The large population of monkeys add on to the fun.

    (Translated by Google) The status of this pillar was done in 1448 (Sanctuary 1505). This pillar dedicated to Lord Vishnu is 37.19 meters high and is divided into nine floors. Kirti Column is an amazing tower in the form of architecture. There is a light in the inner part of the floor due to the window Kirti Column is located in Rajasthan's Chittorgarh. This is a pillar or a tower, which was constructed by Maharana Kumbh in 1448 AD. It is also called 'Vijay pillar'. (Original) इस स्तम्भ की प्रतिष्ठा सन 1448 (संवत 1505) में हुई थी। भगवान विष्णु को समर्पित यह स्तम्भ 37.19 मीटर ऊँचा है तथा नौ मंजिलों में विभक्‍त है। कीर्ति स्तम्भ वास्तुकला की दृष्टि से अपने आप में एक अद्भुत मीनार है। मंज़िल पर झरोखा होने से इसके भीतरी भाग में भी प्रकाश रहता है 'कीर्ति स्तम्भ' राजस्थान के चित्तौड़गढ़ में स्थित है। यह एक स्तम्भ या मीनार है, जिसका निर्माण महाराणा कुम्भा ने 1448 ई. में करवाया था। इसे 'विजय स्तम्भ' भी कहा जाता है।

    Chittor has a history going back several centuries. It was an ancient centre of Jain tradition. Chittor is adjacent to the ancient city of Madhyamika. The Jain inscriptions at Mathura from the Kushana period (1st to 3rd centuries) mention a "Majjhimilla" branch of the "Kottiya" gana, indicating that it was a major Jain centre. The famous Acharya Haribhadra Suri (6th century) was born in Chittor and wrote "Dhurtopakhyana" there. There was a scholar Elacharya at Chittor from whom Vira-senacharya (9th century) learned the ancient Shat-khandagama and Kashayapahuda. Vira-senacharya later wrote the famous "Dhavala" and "Jayadhavala" on the basis of these books. It was the residence of Jinavallabha who propagated the Vidhimarga in the 12th century. From the 15th to 17th centuries, it was the seat of a Bhattaraka. The tower is built in the Solanki style. It is 30 feet wide at the base and narrows down to 15 feet at the top. Three inscriptions have been found that mention Jija of Bagherwal community as the builder of the stambha.[1] One of the inscriptions mention Dharmakirti, the disciple of Shubhakirti, who was disciple of Vasantkirti. According to the Balatkara GanaPattavali, Dharmakirti headed the patta during 1224-1257 AD. Thus the structure dates from the 13th century, although an unrelated Jain inscription of 896 AD was found in the vicinity.[2] Kirti Stambha is older than another tower in the same fort, known as the Vijay Stambha (Tower of Victory).

    The Kirti Stambha, also known as the Tower of Fame is a Jain structure next to the Shri Digamber Jain Adinath Temple and just north of Suraj Pole gate on the eastern side of the Chittorgarh complex. Like the Vijay Stambh, this tower is also richly decorated on the exterior, however, you wouldn’t immediately know this was a Jain structure until you see that 2 of niches on the 2nd storey contain sculptures of Jain tirthankars. Beautiful structure to look at, pity it’s not possible to climb up.

    (Translated by Google) The ancient Jain temple and the tower of honor that the Jain merchants donated. There is an old man in the temple guiding you to worship and will ask you to donate a few rupees. The Tower of Honor can be used as a tower, but if you see the door locked, try to ask the elderly to see if you can open the door? (Original) 古老的耆那教寺庙和耆那教富有商人捐献的荣誉之塔。寺庙有一位老人引导你祭拜,并会要求你捐献若干卢比。荣誉之塔按道理是可以登塔的,但是你如果看到门锁着,试着问问老人家,看能否开门?
