Fortunately it was republic day when I arrived in Chittorgarh. The railway officers were celebrating 70th Republic day of India. It was a very cold morning in Chittorgarh and after sunrise it was very hot. Me and many others were watching parade on railway station. After this parade many officers were honored for their good work.

The meeting point was Chittorgarh Junction Railway Station. Before moving in the meetup direction I decided to see the opposite side of Railway Station. Here I enjoyed the western breakfast called Poha on the east gate of Railway station. Locals told me that due to holiday this area is dirty today. Otherwise, there is a daily cleaning routine. In this area I have seen that all the places are added and correct and those who were not correct, I did them.

I always wanted to visit Chittorgarh to see the amazing Fort of this city. I waited till 9.30 in the morning for any local guide. When nobody came, I started walking towards the destination(Fort). I took many photos and edited about 20 places. Quite a lot of places were correct, so this time my edit ratio is low as compared to photos. Here are the edit stats,
Figure showing the stats of meetup.
Chittorgarh is city but there is no rush anywhere in the city. I crossed residential area near Railway Station to see if there is any missing place and found one hospital, a Hindu temple and a school. It was time to see the actual city and I came on road. Here I found everything fine and started walking towards Fort via Maharana Pratap Setu Marg. One thing I noticed in Chittorgarh(through which area I walked), there is no proper photo on business. I added photos to many businesses and continued my journey towards fort.

Finally I reached the first gate of Chittorgarh Fort after walking 3.6 Km. At the 3rd gate of this fort I saw a foreign traveler was running towards the fort and it gives me more energy :). The first visiting spot was Kumbha Palace,
