Geography & terrain

Haldighati lies in the Rajsamand district of Rajasthan, 40 km from Udaipur and 20 km from Nathdwara — the pass of the battle, its yellow-hill setting and the memorial set in the Aravalli's country between the plains and the hills.

History & culture

The pass's story runs with the 1576 battle of Haldighati — the fight of Maharana Pratap against the Mughal armies, with the legend of his loyal horse Chetak and the pass's name from the turmeric-yellow soil stained in the region's memory; the modern Maharana Pratap memorial and the Chetak's site, with the region's story of the Mewar resistance, give Haldighati its battlefield history.
