Nagaur district

Nagaur district is an administrative region in western Rajasthan that extends across arid landscapes and farmland, particularly near the Luni River. The area contains several historical sites and towns connected by a network of roads and rail lines.

Nagaur Fort was built in the early 12th century as one of northern India's first Muslim fortifications and was later modified by various ruling dynasties. The district later developed as an administrative region during British rule in the area.

The region preserves traditional Rajasthani music performances that remain part of community life, and local festivals reflect the spiritual beliefs of the people living here. These customs shape how villagers gather and celebrate together throughout the year.

Visitors reach the district by highways and railways that connect larger cities with the main town of Nagaur. The cooler months offer the best time to visit, as the region gets very hot and dry during summer.

Khimsar Fort is an approximately 500-year-old structure now operating as a guesthouse where visitors can stay within historical walls. This restored fortress offers a rare glimpse of life in a former stronghold set in desert landscape.
