Mohar Magri

Mohar Magri can be translated as Hill of Gold Coins. A small structure that was raised during the invasion of Chittaurgarh by Akbar in 1567, got the name of Mohar Magri because it is believed that Akbar paid a mohar (gold coin) for each basket of soil placed on the mound, as the work was very dangerous. Valiant soldiers guarded the walls from below. The mound rose to such an extent that the Mughal guns could be placed on it and set fire within the fort. Important places within the place are the temple of Tulja Bhawani (the tutelary goddess of the scribes), the Naulakha Bhandar or treasure of nine million, Singar Chauri, representing inscriptions dating to the 1448 AD and ancient Jain temple.
