Visited
this
majestic
and
beautiful
fort
palace
in
2019.
The
name
Nagaur
stems
from
"Nag"
meaning
snake.
The
fort
is
said
to
be
built
by
the
descendants
of
the
nagvanshi
kshatriyas.
The
fort
was
conquered
many
times
and
the
ownership
passed
on
to
several
kingdoms.
Ultimately
the
fort
was
reclaimed
by
the
royal
rulers
of
Mewar
and
now
is
under
the
Mehrangarh
Trust.
Nagaur
Fort
is
among
the
most
beautiful
forts
we
ever
visited.
The
efforts
they
have
taken
to
restore
the
fort
interiors
with
natural
materials
is
noteworthy.
The
palace
displays
genius
architecture
of
the
ancient
times
including
Persian
water
bath,
underground
fountain
in
an
arid
region
and
cooling
systems,
among
a
few.
Haadi
rani
mahal,
Abha
Mahal,
Deepak
mahal,
open
fountain
area
and
the
gazebos
are
among
the
most
striking
structures
of
this
huge
fort.
A
part
of
the
fort
has
converted
into
a
luxurious
heritage
hotel.
In
spite
of
the
maintenance
and
the
efforts
to
keep
it
alive,
the
entry
fee
isn't
high,
unlike
the
Mehrangarh
Fort
of
Jodhpur.
Generally,
you
don't
need
a
guide
within
the
premises,
but
we
did
hire
one,
who
was
a
staff
member
of
the
fort
administration
and
showed
us
places
that
were
closed
to
public.
Do
add
this
under
rate
gem
to
your
travel
itinerary
if
you
are
around
Jodhpur
or
Bikaner.
You
will
fall
in
love
with
history.
