Apparently the tallest structure standing within the imposing fort of Chittorgarh, Vijay Stambha was built as a show of power in the late 1440s by the Mewar King, Rana Kumbha.
It's a shame you cannot climb atop this tower anymore.
Too tired to think of a title for this one :(.. I just wanted to do this shot for quite a while, its not with the best view around but nonetheless conceptually right on what i wanted to do :)
Its a shot of my one of my colleague shooting other.

Mandvi’s Vijay Vilas Palace stands majestically amidst the landscaped and beautifully manicured gardens watered by a number of water channels and equally impressive marble fountains. Located on the banks of the Rukmavati River, Mandvi was a bastioned town that used to serve as the summer retreat of the Kutch Kings. Tourists visiting Mandvi won’t grudge about the paucity of tourist attractions. Enjoying a distinctive popularity among the other major tourist hot spots is the Vijay Vilas Palace in Mandvi. The palace is a brilliant exemplification of Rajput architecture. One look at the palace and it won’t take the knowledgeable ones to understand that there is much similarity between the Vijay Vilas Palace, Mandvi and those of the Orcha and Datia palaces. Some of the noteworthy features of the palace comprise of central dome supported by pillars, the windows graced with colored glasses, the intricate and exquisite window carvings, the bastions at the corners and the extended porch. Another aspect that makes this place such a hot favorite for the tourists is the private beach that features air-conditioned and tented accommodation. If you claim to be a beach lover, you can’t possibly ignore the appeal of the beach that boasts of a pristine and untainted beauty.
