Haldighati
The extensive terra firma, towards the south west of Nathdwara, this
historical site witnessed the great legendry battle fought between
Maharana Pratap and the Mughal Emperor -Akbar in 1576 AD.
The
vast terrain that was supposedly covered with blood (the sand turned
Red in colour) evokes a chill in the spine till date and envelopes a
feel of nostalgia, this was the place where the heroic Chetak the
gallant charger with his dedicated loyalty towards his chivalrous
master (the Maharana Pratap) proved his worth by co-operating till
his last breath. A 'Chhatri' with delicate white marble is dedicated
both to the indomitable hero and his loyal charger, is note worthy.
A jeep drive to this place is rather interesting.
