Study of Floristic Diversity of Chittorgarh Fort, Rajasthan (India)

Chittorgarh Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Rajasthan, harbors 20 wild plant species from 17 families, with a balanced distribution across trees (45%), shrubs (30%), and herbs (25%). This study, conducted in March 2026, provides the first comprehensive assessment of the fort's native flora, offering insights into its environmental conditions and vegetation characteristics. By focusing exclusively on wild species—excluding ornamental plants—the research reveals a diverse yet understudied botanical landscape that reflects the fort's ecological resilience. The findings contribute to broader conservation efforts for Rajasthan's hill forts while highlighting the need for further exploration of their biodiversity.
