The dictator sultan is obsessed with obtaining something of extraordinary beauty for himself. He lays siege to Chittorgarh's impregnable castle. He returns empty-handed after a gruelling six months. He becomes obsessed, and he will stop at nothing to catch Chittor and its Queen. He returns with a larger army and a furious rage. He launches a vicious assault on Chittor, resulting in a bloody and terrifying war between the holy Maharawal Ratan Singh, who is defending his kingdom and the honour of his Queen, and Sultan Allaudin Khilji.
