Jauhar kund is a large underground water tank located in the Chittorgarh fort in Rajasthan, India.
It was used as a site for mass self-immolation by Rajput women during times of war, in order to avoid capture and enslavement by the enemy.
The practice of Jauhar was viewed as an act of bravery and sacrifice, and was a means for women to preserve their honor and avoid dishonor or rape.
Jauhar kund is now a popular tourist destination and a symbol of Rajput heroism and sacrifice.
Here women performed mass self-immolation to avoid being taken captive by enemy forces.
