Chitrangada Maurya or Chitrang Mori was a chieftain of the Mori clan who laid the foundation of the fort of Chittorgarh, which is the largest fort in India.[1][2][3][4][5]
Chitrang had his capital at Chittorgarh.[6] He reigned in the 8th century AD, and the ruins of his palace still are present today.[7] Chittorgarh was then known as Chitrakot, which changed to Chittorgarh in colloquial language.[6]
