A lot of people ask who was the architect of Kumbhalgarh Fort or in hindi they ask कुम्भलगढ़ दुर्ग का शिल्पी कौन था, so he was a very famous architect of that time and his name was Mandan.
Kumbhalgarh (literally meaning "Kumbhal fort"), also called the Great Wall of India, is a well known Mewar fortress located on the westerly range of Aravalli Hills, at about 48 km from Rajsamand city in the Rajsamand district of the Indian State of Rajasthan. It is situated about 84 km from Udaipur and is a World Heritage Site which is included in Hill Forts of Rajasthan. It was made during the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha.
In the year 2013, at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee which was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Kumbhalgarh Fort, as well as five other forts of Rajasthan, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site that lies under the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan. The chief architect of this fort who actually designed this fort was Mandan, who also documented his style of work in his text, known as Rajvallabh. The fort is known to be among the world's largest fort complexes.
Kumbhalgarh fort's early could not be ascertained as there is lack of evidence. Before Rana Kumbha actually built the new fort, there used to be a small fort here, which was limited to small hilly area, and it is believed to have been built by King Samprati of the Maurya dynasty. Rana Lakha won this complete area and plains of Godwar from Chauhan Rajputs of Nadol in late 14th century.
Kumbhalgarh, as we see this fort it was made by Rana Kumbha who was the maharana of Mewar from the Sisodia rajput clan. Maharana Kumbha took help of famous architect of that era, "Mandan". Rana Kumbha's kingdom of Mewar started from Ranthambore to Gwalior and it included a huge number of tracts of what is now MP and Rajasthan. Out of the 84 forts in Rana Kumbha's dominion, he built 32 of them, of which Kumbhalgarh is known to be the biggest and most elaborate.
Kumbhalgarh separated Mewar and Marwar from each other and in those times it was used as a refuge place for the rulers of Mewar in the times of danger. A very notable instance was in the case of Prince Udai, when the infant king of Mewar was smuggled here in the year 1535, when Chittor was under siege. Prince Udai later succeeded to the throne and also built Udaipur city.
Ahmed Shah I of Gujarat later attacked the fort in 1457, but he was unsuccessful. There were further attempts to capture the fort in 1458-59 and 1467 by Mahmud Khalji, but it was also not successful. Akbar's general, Shahbaz Khan later attacked this fort in October 1577 and after the long siege of 6 months, he captured the fort in April 1577. But later it was recaptured by Maharana Pratap in 1578. In the year 1818, an armed band of sanyasis formed a garrison in order to protect the fort, but was convinced[clarification needed] by James Tod and the Kumbhalgarh fort was then taken over by the British and later it was returned to Udaipur State. There were a few additions made by Maharanas of Mewar, but the original structure which was built by Maharana Kumbha still remains. The residential buildings as well as temples are well-preserved. The fort is also known to be the Maharana Pratap's birth place.
