. Construction at Kumbhalgarh was started in the 15th century, and was occupied and expanded into the late 19th century. The most recent addition is the palace which is a jumble of passageways, small rooms and large courtyards.
Every doorway and entry is decorated in the typical scalloped arch Rajasthan style. Some of the rooms still had wall murals intact.
You can see for miles over the hills from the roof, although it was a bit hazy when we were there. On a clear day I have read that you can see the desert sand dunes to the west. 
This sign set into a stone wall caught my eye because the people of India do indeed have a reason to be proud of their heritage and fortunately sites like this one at Kumbhalgarh are being preserved and open to the public where one can really get a feel for the local history.
