Chitrangada Mori

Chitrangada Mori was a ruler from the later Mauryans who laid the foundation of the fort of Chittorgarh, which is the largest fort in India.

Chitrangada Mori had his capital at Chittorgarh. He reigned in the 7th century AD, and the ruins of his palace still are present today. Chittorgarh was then known as Chitrakot, which changed to Chittorgarh in colloquial language. Chitrangada Mori was possibly succeeded by Bappa Rawal, the Rajput ruler of Guhila dynasty after several conflicts with Arabs.
