Gaumukh Kund is a sacred water body situated on the western part of the famous Chittorgarh Fort. 'Gaumukh' literally means the 'mouth of a cow'. The water flows by the cracks in the rocks and in due course, falls into the reservoir. Travellers are allowed to feed the fishes of the reservoir. The Rani Bindar Tunnel located near this reservoir is also a noted attraction. According to a legend, this tunnel leads to an underground chamber, where Rani Padmini of Chittorgarh performed 'Jauhar'.

The Gomukh Kund is a reservoir and well inside the fort complex of Chittorgarh. This is probably the most picturesque spots in the whole of the complex, if not the city. It's also the spot that's often used for tourism promotional photos for the city. The water is enclosed by a tall cliff on one side and what looks like a low wall on the Chittorgarh city side. There's even a submerged temple under the water and I climbed down to the reservoir to take a look. The sanctum is submerged up to about a metre from the roof, but it doesn't stop devotees worshipping. Interesting, but the picturesque photos are probably more important.
