Kirti Stambha, or Tower of Fame, is a 12th-century Jain monument within Chittorgarh Fort. Built by a Jain merchant named Jijaji Rathod, the tower is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara. Its exterior is covered with exquisite sculptures of Jain deities and figures, while the interior houses a small shrine. Unlike the nearby Vijaya Stambha, this tower is smaller (22 meters) and features a distinct architectural style with a star-shaped base and intricate ornamentation.
