FAQs On Gaumukh Reservoir
Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India
The Gaumukh Reservoir, or Gaumukh Kund, is one of the most vital and sacred water bodies within the sprawling Chittorgarh Fort complex. Its name, "Gaumukh," translates literally to "Cow's Mouth," referring to the naturally-shaped rock formation carved into a cow's head from which a perennial spring water continuously flows into the large reservoir below. This constant flow, irrespective of the season, has earned it the reverence of a sacred spring, and it is known as the "Tirth Raj" (King of all Holy Places) of Chittorgarh. For centuries, this reservoir was a crucial source of water for the fort's inhabitants, particularly during the prolonged sieges that are central to Chittorgarh's history. The ability of the fort to sustain life through multiple sieges, like the one by Alauddin Khilji in 1303, was largely dependent on its sophisticated water management system, of which the Gaumukh was a cornerstone. The reservoir is not merely a tank; it's a deep, stepped kund where devotees can descend to the water level. A small shrine is located at the base where the water spouts, housing a Shivling (symbol of Lord Shiva) and an idol of Goddess Lakshmi. The water is clear and cool, supporting a lively population of fish. It is considered highly auspicious by pilgrims to feed these fish, a practice that visitors frequently participate in. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with its religious and historical significance, makes the Gaumukh Reservoir a peaceful, yet profoundly important, stop on any fort tour. The architectural mastery lies in harnessing a natural aquifer and integrating it into the defensive infrastructure of the fort.
