Despite the passage of centuries, the fierce struggles at Chittor are the subject of epic tales still told and songs still sung. Chittorgarh became the first capital of the royal house of Mewar, descended from the sun in the early thirteenth century. In 1303 the fort was attacked by Aluddin Khilji, the sultan of Delhi, reputed to be interested in claiming the beautiful Rajput princess as his own. If that was his goal, if was not to be realized, because as defeat became certain, Padmini and all the other women to the fort voluntarily committed themselves to the flames in ritual suicide.
