Architecture Of The Taragarh Fort

Unlike most of the forts built in sandstone by the Rajput rulers, Taragarh Fort is built in a green-coloured serpentine stone, which was quarried locally. As this stone does not lend to intricate carvings like sandstone does, you can instead find exquisite paintings on the fort walls.

The fort palace has a huge entrance called the Hathia Pol, which means 'Elephant Gateway' that has two towers topped by painted elephants. Another interesting part of the palace are the Chattar Mahal and the Chitrashala that comprise of a gallery of some of the best paintings of those times.
