Occupied until the late 19th century, the fort is now open to the public and is spectacularly lit for a few minutes each evening. The Kumbhalgarh fort is the second largest wall in the world after the Great Wall of China. It was constructed by Rana Kumbha between 1443-1458 A.D. The fort has ten gates and several temples dedicated to Hindu and Jain God.
