Vijay Stambha
Vijay Stambha ("Kirttistambha") is an imposing victory monument located in Chittorgarh fort in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India. This tower is the pièce de résistance of Chittorgarh. It was constructed by Mewar king Rana Kumbha in 1448 to commemorate his victory over the combined armies of Malwa and Gujarat led by Mahmud Khilji. The tower is dedicated to Vishnu.〔
==Structure==
The 37.19 m high 9-storied tower is one of the most remarkable in India. It is built partly of red sandstone and partly of white marble and is enriched by numerous images of Hindu gods and goddesses with inscriptions at the bottom of each. It is believed that the tower took 10 years to be completed. This exemplary piece of architecture stands on a pedestal 10 feet high. Each of the nine stories are distinctly marked with openings and balconies at every face of each story. The interior staircase winds alternately through the central chamber and surrounding gallery. The construction was supervised by Sompura architects originally from Patan.
