Chittorgarh
Chittorgarh (ou Chittor, Chittaur ou Chittaurgarh) est une ville et une municipalité du Rajasthan, dans l'ouest de l'Inde. Chef-lieu du District de Chittorgarh, elle se trouve sur les berges de la Berach, un sous-affluent de la Chambal. C'est une ancienne capitale du clan Sisodia des Rajputs du Mewar. Farouchement indépendante, la ville possède le plus grand fort de l'Inde, le fort de Chittor (280 hectares). Celui-ci a été assiégé trois fois par les conquérants musulmans (en 1303, 1535 et 1568) et chaque fois les défenseurs pratiquèrent le jauhâr des femmes et des enfants.
Rajputana
Rājputana, meaning "Land of the Rajputs", was a region in the Indian subcontinent that included mainly the present-day Indian state of Rajasthan, as well as parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, and some adjoining areas of Sindh in modern-day southern Pakistan. The main settlements to the west of the Aravalli Hills came to be known as Rajputana, early in the Medieval Period. The name was later adopted by East India Company as the Rajputana Agency for its dependencies in the region of the present-day Indian state of Rājasthān.
Mularaja
Mularaja (941-996 CE) was the founder of the Chaulukya dynasty of India. Also known as the Chalukyas of Gujarat or Solanki, this dynasty ruled parts of present-day Gujarat. Mularaja supplanted the last Chavda king, and founded an independent kingdom with his capital in Anahilapataka in 940-941 CE. The Kumarapala-Bhupala-Charita of Jayasimha Suri provides a legendary genealogy of Mularaja. It states that the mythical progenitor of the Chaulukya dynasty was Chulukya, a great warrior.
