The project, which was started by the Veer Shiromani Maharana Pratap Samiti, aims at providing information about Maharana Pratap and the historical heritage of the area with the help of modern technology.

Background[edit]

Pratap Gaurav Kendra Rashtriya Tirth is aimed at providing detailed information about the history and achievements of the king of Mewar Maharana Pratap.
