Nahargarh Fort Tourism

Nahargarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, overlooking the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, it was originally named Sudarshangarh and later renamed Nahargarh, which means 'abode of tigers'. The fort was constructed as part of a defensive ring for the city. It has seen several renovations and additions over the centuries, notably by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II in the 19th century. The fort is known for its extended wall that connects it to Jaigarh Fort. Nahargarh Fort offers stunning views of Jaipur's scenic landscape and is famous for its intricate architecture. The main attractions within the fort include the Madhavendra Bhawan, constructed by Sawai Madho Singh, which has a unique cluster of 12 identical suites for queens and at the head, a suite for the king himself. It has become a popular spot for tourists and locals, especially during sunrise and sunset.
