Taragarh Fort, also known as the "Star Fort," is located in Bundi, Rajasthan, built in 1354 by Rao Deva Hada.​

Perched on a steep hill 1,426 feet high, it offers panoramic views of Bundi city and the Aravalli Range.​

The fort is famous for its massive ramparts, imposing gateways like Lakshmi Pol and Hathiya Pol, and intricate Rajput architecture with little Mughal influence.​

Taragarh is built with locally sourced green-tinged serpentine stone, featuring splendid paintings on walls and ceilings instead of carvings.​

It served as a military stronghold with secret tunnels aiding escapes during battles, showcasing advanced medieval defense engineering.​

Key structures include the Rani Mahal (Queen’s Palace), Bhim Burj bastion where a huge cannon once stood, and several water reservoirs for siege defense.​

Renowned for its star-shaped design enabling strategic defense with overlapping firing fields, it remains a symbol of Rajput valor and architectural brilliance.
