Mandalgarh Fort is in which district?

Explanation

Mandalgarh Fort belongs to Bhilwara district. The Government of Rajasthan, Master Plan for Mandalgarh describes Mandalgarh town as a sub-divisional headquarters of Bhilwara district and identifies Mandalgarh Fort as a major tourist attraction there. That supports option A directly. Mandalgarh also appears in Rajasthan history questions because it is an ancient fortress settlement on a hill, known for its fort and strategic location, with its earlier importance tied mainly to defence. The fort changed hands at different times between Mewar, the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughals, which is why it is treated as a political and military-history site rather than just a local landmark.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Chittorgarh is wrong because Mandalgarh is in Bhilwara district, not Chittorgarh district.
• (C) Rajsamand is wrong because Mandalgarh Fort is not in Rajsamand district.
• (D) Udaipur is wrong because Mandalgarh is part of Bhilwara district, so Udaipur does not match the fort's district location.

Concept

This tests the Rajasthan History, Art and Culture mapping of forts to their present districts. RAS often repeats such facts because forts link geography with political control, defence routes and regional history.
