Kumbhalgarh threads tanks and channels through a mountain long wall. Chittorgarh and Taragarh bed whole neighborhoods on cisterns so a siege becomes a season. Ranthambore holds water against bare cliff and scrub while Jaisalmer teaches desert thrift from a living sandstone hive.
Raigad stores the monsoon inside basalt. Gandikota rides a canyon rim and answers thirst with the river below. Lohagarh hides the strength of moats in plain sight. Every plan points to the same rule. Hold water and you hold the line.
