Nahargarh Fort

The imposing Nahargarh fort is located on a sandstone hillock just beyond the Jaigarh Fort and served as a military sentinel that guarded the royal kingdom of Amber.

The term Nahargarh literally means "the abode of tiger," though this may not have been the reason behind christening the fort.
Nahargarh Fort
The local people of Jaipur believe in an improbable legend according to which the fort was named after a deceased prince Nahar Singh, whose spirit apparently haunted the construction site till the builders agreed to name the fort after him. Whether true or not, the legend definitely adds spice and intrigue to your Nahargarh Fort tours.Constructed in 1734 by Sawai Jai Singh to bolster Jaipur's security, the Nahargarh Fort was of immense strategic importance.

There are several historic buildings located within the Nahargarh Fort but the one that is likely to intrigue you most is the Madhavendra Bhawan that has a series of interconnected rooms connected to each other with colorfully painted corridors and hallways. Quite a few of these rooms have attached toilets and baths. There are several kitchens attached to these rooms.

The Nahargarh Fort or the Tiger Fort overlooks the picturesque Man Sagar Lake. A perfectly carved marble duck blind was constructed in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake that used by the Maharajas for hunting purposes.

The Nahargarh Fort was an important summer retreat for the rani's of the Jaipur royal household and was used as a picnic spot for the members of the royal family.
