History of Kirti Stambha Chittor Fort has the most prominent history sealed in its walls. Rani Padmini performed Jauhar after Alauddin Khilji besieged the majestic fort. Within it stands Kirti Stambh which was built by Jija of Bhagerwala community. It was built in dedication of first Jain Thirthankar, Sri Adinath. There are three inscriptions on the tower which delivers this information. The naked figures of Thirthankar over the Stambh tells that it belonged to Digambara sect. Further, one of the inscriptions mentions, Dharmakirti, the disciple of Shubhakirti. However, according to Balatkara Gana Pattavali, Dharmakirti led the patta during the 1224-1257 AD. As per these records, the structure seems to be built in the 13th century.
