For this initiative, Chittorgarh is paying a hefty amount of INR eight crore and it has already been approved through the union ministry of culture. An extra effort will be put into fighting off the monkeys which are infamous in the region for destroying floodlights at the fort.

However, the year-round lightning definitely does now no longer mean that the castle may also continue to be open throughout the night. Vantage factors could be made for traffic to view the first-rate fort in all its glory. The longest stretch of the mission is a four km lengthy wall and it will likely be seen from a 20 km lengthy distance!

Chittorgarh DM Arvind Poswal said, “The idea is to give an revel into traffic like in no way before. The lightning doesn’t suggest that the castle could be open during the night, however, a few locations could be identified in which traffic can see the honor of the castle entirely. It will assist in permitting travelers to live in a single day withinside the town that's considered a daylong tourist center”.
