    2. Rana Kumbha
    3. Rana Pratap
    4. Rana Udaisingh
Correct Option: B

The Kirtistambha at Chittor was built by Rana Kumbha. The Kirtistambha (tower of fame) dedicated to Lord Adinath was constructed by Baghervala merchant Sah Jija by using "Nija-bhujoparjita", i.e. self-earned money, according to an inscription by his great-grandson who had the monument repaired in 1489. The exat date of building of the Kirti-stambha is not known. Some believe that Sah Jija had an older tower rebuilt, perhaps from 12th cent.
