HISTORY
Entrance in the Nahargarh Fort
The Nahargarh Fort was built by Sawai Raja Jai Singh in 1734. Since Jaipur was his capital, the Nahargarh Fort was strategically important and was built as a means of bolstering the defense of Amer. It was also known as the Tiger Fort. New additions were made to the fort in the 19th century by Sawai Ram Singh II and Sawai Madho Singh II. The older parts of he fort are being hard hit by the ravages of times but the newer additions are quite captivating.
Entrance in the Nahargarh FortAccording to a legend, the Fort was named after a prince whose spirit used to haunt the site and would cause mischief so as to delay the construction of the fort. After too many disturbances, finally after a Tantrik prayer the ghost or the spirit, agreed to leave on the condition that the fort should be named after him.
One of the major attractions of the Nahargarh Fort is the view it offers of the Man Sagar lake and the surrounding area

I just looked at the pictures and they are great. I have to go to a doctor appointment but I'l read your post when I return.
Beautiful. What a royal place - just looks royal. Thanks for the tour. I love to see places that I may never go other than to see them on my computer. Beautiful country.
c'est tout simplement grandiose, et la vue avec le Water Palace est magnifique. c'est un endroit de rêve.
it is simply grandiose, and the view with Water Palace is splendid. it is a place of dream.
very royal, beautiful n stunning location......i really admire the then architects...!
Well, that's one way to get something named after you!
You sure look like you're enjoying your jeep, too.
I did enjoy the pictures. This is a very impressive place!
Well, this is curious. I enlarged photo #6, and some of the designs are a very close cousin to the Norwegian art of rosemaling. What does this mean, if anything, I wonder.
Enjoyed enlarging the pictures to study all the glorious details of the fort, inside and out. Even the steps to the pond are fascinating!
Cool fortress palaces. I take it there were a lot of wars during that period?
Wow! The place looks dashing.. and I never knew Taj Mahal is on water.
I love the hallway and the entrance. The royal room and terrace looks like buildings I see in Transformer 2 hehee. the walls are beautiful! Love it!
Very interesting post, i should say a Royal post ;) and beautiful shots , i like very much the Fourth , "the fort gallery" the colours and light are perfect :)
Thank you. It's lovely!
I love royal interiors the most, and what an amazing colour of water in the pond!
Great place, thanks for showing:)

waw.. water palace! that must be awesome.
I am delighted to see the wonderful pictures of Nahargarh Fort as I have visited the Fort several times as I stayed at Jaipur for 2 years.I liked Nahargarh,Jaigarh and Amber Fort very much and also the city palace.Infact the whole city is very beautiful and royal.Its really sad to hear that Rajmata Gayatri Devi has passed away.
OH WOW!! I am glad to have come by to see these... how splendid to view such a beautiful location for sure!!
I just love the inside of that palace! Beautiful!
And the Jeep is awesome... I have driven nothing but Jeeps all my life and that's a classic!
WOW! What beautiful places!!! Really fun to see.
Your gorgeous photos and stories make me long to travel to your part of the world. There is so much beauty there, and such a long and rich history. I love that the fort is named for a ghost!
I have been to India several times and Rajasthan is the area where we spent the most time. We visited the Water Palace and Nahargarh in Jaipur too. India has so much to offer, it transports one to other times and of course we, the tourists, only remain on the surface of many layers we dont even know exsist.
This entry is fantastic, thank you.
Beautiful snaps of the fort and the palace. Lovely
I enjoyed your post today, very much. I also liked the photographs you presented. Some are marvelous. I got to see you in several of them. A handsome young man you are indeed.

Hi Unseen! This Fort I know; and some of the pictures are similar to mine; definitely taken from the same places...
Now, 08.08 always deserves a bit of champagne; at least for those who got married some 34 years ago. We just had a bit of Veuve Clicquot... ;))
And Blogtrotter is now showing that Reykjavik is not entirely grey... ;)). Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
