Temples of #Kumbhalgarh

Kumbhalgarh Fort, is spread over 14 sq Km on Aravali hills and protected with long outer fortification wall, series of bastions and fortified gates. This fort has many old temples, both Hindu and Jain. Mandan was the architect of this fort.
Unlike the popular legend, this fort doesn’t have 360 temples. The total number of both Jain and Hindu temples was over 70, out of which many still survives.
Majority of the temples were constructed during the reign of Maharana Kumbha and in subsequent period.
