Explanation

The Vijay Stambha (Tower of Victory) at Chittorgarh Fort was commissioned by Rana Kumbha in 1448 CE to commemorate his victory over the combined armies of Malwa and Gujarat led by Mahmud Khilji. This 37-meter tall nine-story tower is an architectural marvel. Rana Pratap (A) was Rana Kumbha's descendant who fought against Akbar, Rana Sanga (B) preceded Rana Kumbha, and Shivaji (C) was a Maratha leader from a different era.
