Taragarh {Bundi Fort} (Bundi)

 palace, fortification

The white coloured Taragarh or the 'Star Fort' ia perched atop a thickly wooded hill. It was built in 1411 by Rao Raja Bar Singh and its unique construction makes it almost impregnable. In 18th century when the state was governed through Jaipur state, an outer wall was added by Fauzdar Dalil of Jaipur. There are several interesting monuments within the fort. The centrally located Bheem Burj is the highest Burj (Tower) of the fort. Adjacent to Bheem Burj is a cenotaph resembling the 84 columned cenotaph, which was built by Bhai Deva, the brother of Bheem Rao Anirudh Singh. There is also a large reservoir which once supplied water to the palace. Today, the impressive fort is one of the major tourist attractions of the region.
