Nahargarh Fort, Hilltop fort in Jaipur, India

The stone fortification extends along the Aravalli Hills ridge, with high walls connecting it to Jaigarh Fort and forming a defensive perimeter around Jaipur.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II established the fortress in 1734, initially naming it Sudershangarh before changing it to Nahargarh, meaning abode of tigers.

The Madhavendra Bhawan inside the fort contains individual suites designed for the twelve queens, with interconnected corridors and rooms decorated with traditional paintings.

The fort welcomes visitors from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM daily, with entrance fees of 50 rupees for Indian nationals and 200 rupees for international tourists.

The fort served as a solar time station until 1944, with a signal gun fired daily to mark the time as read from the Samrat Yantra at Jantar Mantar.
