NOW WE ARE GOING TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS FORT

History and Legend

Nahargarh Fort was commissioned in the year 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. Placed on the lofty Aravalli Hills, the fort was a retreat palace for the ruler. Nahargarh and Jaigarh fort are connected to each other through their extended ramparts.

There is also a legend connected to the fort. It is believed that the fort was cursed by the spirit of Nahar Singh Bhomia, a Rathore prince. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh found this property which once belonged to the said prince and the Maharaja thought about raising a fort here. But, the spirit of the prince was not happy with the idea. Nevertheless, the construction started. The part of the construction that was done in the morning was found completely destroyed the next day. When Maharaja Sawai Singh came to know of this, he built a small fort inside the premises of the fort and dedicated it to the prince. Later on, a small temple was also built here. The prince’s spirit was now happy.

Hallways connect the suites and rooms to each other with gorgeous frescoes in the interior.
