Nagaur in Rajasthan is a fort which epitomizes a rich historical past. Located between Jodhpur and Bikaner, which are also known for many forts and monuments, Nagaur is known for its historic monuments and a beautiful fort. Formerly known as Ahichhatrapur, this town was a strong witness to the battle for power that took place between the rulers at Delhi, Marwar and Gujrat.
The first inhabitants of Nagaur were the Naga Rajputs. Since then, the town had many different reigns. The most prominent influence was of the Muslim rulers who ruled for many years together. The town is a witness to the valour of the young Indian ruler, Amar Singh Rathore who died against his war for justice with Mughal rulers. Alienated from his reigning kingdom, Jodhpur, Amar Singh was then adopted by Nagaur with much satisfaction.
Nagaur apart from its forts and historical monuments is popular for being the host of the biggest cattle fairs in the state of Rajasthan. This sleepy town gets alive with the fair that is full of festivity that ropes in anew awakening.
The Nagaur Fort which is the central spot in here dates back its history to the 4th century constructed by the Nagavanshis. This fort was later reconstructed using stone by the Ghaznivities in the early 12th century. Since then, a constant attempt has been taken to improvise this historical monument with a new meaning and form. This land has been the place of rule for many renowned emperors in India.
Nagaur Fort is the heart of this town and the best fort with a flat land that has a distinct monument in the whole of Rajasthan. The striking facade and the gigantic monuments are the house for many mosques, temples and palaces, which are true examples of splendour, intricate architecture and elegance.
Apart from the Nagaur fort, the other places that interest visitors include the Deepak Mahal, decorated with an impressive floral pattern and the Hadi Rani Mahal, which is adorned with many mural paintings. These monuments are one of its kind and a rare commodity to witness.

The sightseeing at Nagaur includes places that are influenced by Mughal form of scriptures and inscriptions. The Nagaur Fort was originally built in the 4th century by the Nagavanshis and later re-built by Mohammed Bahlim using stones. This fort used to be under the supervision of the state government as a part of an agreement between the real owners and the government.
In total, there are three main entrances in the Nagaur Fort out of which, the outer most gate is the heaviest gate with wooden work and iron spikes, as it used to protect the fort from outside elephant attacks. The 2nd gate is in the middle section and is named as Beech Ka Pol while the 3rd gate used to house the judiciary of Nagaur, which is why it was named as Kacheri Pol.
The Tarkeen Dargah here is the 2nd important place of Muslim pilgrimage after Ajmer-e-Sharif. Tarkeen Dargah was built in the memory of Khwaja Hamjduddin Nagauri who was one of the chief disciples of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Other than structures of Mughal architecture, the Glass Jain temple located here is a very important religious place for the Jain community. The temple is decorated with different forms of Jain scriptures and decorations in the form of glass decorations and work of enamel on the walls.
Sai Ji Maharaj ka Tanka is a place that was gifted by Thakur of village Chuntisara to Sai Ji Maharaj so that the saint could offer prayers in peace. The Hadi Rani Mahal here is considered to be one of the most decorated palaces located in Nagaur and the paintings inside the palace depict Rani Hadi along with her attendants.
The Akbari Mahal over here was built in the memory of the recapture of Nagaur by the Mughals from the Governor of Ajmer in the year 1556. The art work within the mahal is a unique combination of both Mughal and Rajputana style architecture.
