Chittorgarh fort, which was founded by Chitrangada Mori

Chitrangada Mori was a ruler of the Mori Kingdom.[1][2][3][better source needed]

Chitrangada Mori laid the foundation of his capital at Chittor Fort, which is the largest fort in India.[4] He reigned in the 7th century AD, and the ruins of his palace still are present today.[5] Chittorgarh was then known as Chitrakot, which changed to Chittorgarh in colloquial language.[4]

Chitrangada Mori was possibly succeeded by Bappa Rawal, the Rajput ruler of Guhila dynasty after several conflicts with Arabs.[6]
