Nahargarh Fort: A Majestic Abode of History and Legends

Nahargarh Fort is located on the edge of the Aravalli Hills and overlooks the beautiful city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Nahargarh, with the equally powerful Amir Fort and Jhajar Fort, is a strong defender and forms a strong ring against the city. Originally known as Sudarshangarh, the fort was modified and nicknamed “Nahargarh” meaning “Lion’s House”.

The name comes from Nahar Singh Bhumia, whose spirit is believed to spread terror in the area and prevent the construction of the fort. According to legend, Nihal’s restless spirit was soothed by building a temple in the palace and over time this temple came to be known by his name.
