Laxmangarh Fort, Hilltop fort in Laxmangarh, India.

Laxmangarh Fort is a stone fort built on a hill that rises above the town of Laxmangarh in Rajasthan, India. It has multiple rooms and defensive walls, with large natural rock formations worked directly into the structure rather than cleared away.

The fort was built in 1805 by Rao Raja Lakshman Singh after armed conflict with Kan Singh Saledhi, and it served as a military stronghold for the area. Its construction shifted the balance of power in this part of Rajasthan.

Aravind Adiga's 2008 Booker Prize-winning novel The White Tiger uses Laxmangarh Fort as a recurring symbol; the town is the narrator Balram Halwai's home. The book's title refers to a rare, intelligent tiger, a term applied to Balram himself. Visitors often come because of the novel, and the fort's silhouette above the town matches its role in the story.

The fort is privately owned by the Jhunjhunwala family, so it is worth arranging access before you visit. Those who want to see the outside can reach it on foot from the town center.

The fort's walls are built directly onto scattered pieces of huge natural rock, a construction method the sources describe as unmatched among the world's fort architecture. The nearest thikana is Hamirpura, named after Lakshman Singh's son Yuvraj Hamir Singh.
