Nestled in the heart of the bustling city of Nagaur, the Nagaur Fort, also known as Ahhichatragarh Fort, is a stunning piece of architectural genius that boasts of centuries of rich history and culture. Built by the Mughal rulers Shahjahan and Akbar and the Kasatriya rulers, this magnificent fort has withstood the test of time and today, stands as a proud monument of Rajasthan’s heritage.

Step into the lush green campus of the Nagaur Fort and be transported back in time to a world of grand palaces, beautiful fountains, and rustic temples. From the magnificent Akbari Mahal to the stunning Hadi Rani Mahal, each palace in the fort complex has its own unique story to tell. You’ll be amazed by the intricate lattice work, stunning murals, and beautiful paintings that adorn the walls of the Hadi Rani Mahal, named after the renowned queen of the fort.

For those who are fascinated by water bodies and reservoirs, the Abha Mahal is a must-visit. This palace houses an abundance of hammams, fountains, and water channels that will leave you in awe. The newest addition to the campus is the Akbari Mahal, built to commemorate the recapture of the Nagaur Fort by the Mughals in the 16th century. This palace is a perfect blend of Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture and its open terrace offers a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the city below.

And if you’re in the mood for some peace and quiet, head over to the campus’ central lawns and courtyards, dotted with fountains and carpeted with glossy green grass. With beautiful flower beds and pools adding to the ambiance, you’ll find yourself in a world of serenity. The campus also houses two temples – one dedicated to Lord Krishna and the other to Lord Ganesha, both of which are decorated with primitive paintings and beautiful murals.
