Nahargarh Fort, Jaipur

Nahargarh Fort, meaning "Abode of Tigers," was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a retreat and defense fort on the Aravalli hills overlooking Jaipur.​

The fort forms part of Jaipur’s defense along with Amer and Jaigarh forts, connected by fortified walls.​

Legend holds that construction was delayed by the spirit of prince Nahar Singh Bhomia, appeased by a temple dedicated to him within the fort.​

It features Indo-European architecture with two fortified rows guarding the hilltop, various temples, and palaces including the two-story Madhavendra Bhawan for royal queens.​

Nahargarh was a royal hunting lodge and served as a refuge during the 1857 Indian Mutiny.​

The fort offers panoramic views of Jaipur city and the surrounding Aravalli range, making it a popular tourist spot.
