Which of the following Rajput rulers of Mewar constructed the famous 'Kirti Stambha' (Tower of Fame) at Chittorgarh fort in the 15th century?
A. Rana Sanga
B. Rana Kumbha✓ Correct Answer
C. Rana Udai Singh
D. Maharana Pratap
💡 Solution & Explanation
Rana Kumbha commissioned the Kirti Stambha and the magnificent Vijay Stambha at Chittorgarh to celebrate his military triumphs and patronize architectural excellence during his reign in the fifteenth century. Alternative rulers such as Rana Sanga or Maharana Pratap belonged to later periods marked by conflicts with the Mughal Empire rather than early monumental architecture. Mewar under Rana Kumbha became a major cultural and strategic center in medieval Rajasthan.
