Nahargarh bedeutet in etwa "Heimat der Löwen", und dieses Fort ist zusammen mit Amer Fort und Jaigarh Fort Teil eines Trios. Wie die anderen auch wird dieses Bauwerk mit Mythen und Legenden in Verbindung gesetzt, so glaubt man zum Beispiel, dass das Fort seinen Namen dadurch erhielt, dass während des Baus ein Prinz namens Nahar Singh die Baustelle besuchte. Abgesehen davon hat Nahargarh eine Geschichte, die von der Rajput- bis zur britischen Ära reicht. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. hatte den Bau des Forts um das Jahr 1734 n. Chr. angeordnet und ließ es anschließend erweitern, um Räume für jede der mehreren Ehefrauen des Königs zu schaffen. Der Hauptpalast, der Madhavendra Bhawan, zeigt einige fein gestaltete Fresken und Gemälde an den Wänden, für die pflanzliche Farbe verwendet wurde. Heute wird der größte Teil des Forts restauriert, aber man kann immer noch hier herkommen, um einen Blick auf die atemberaubende Aussicht auf die darunterliegende "Pinkfarbene Stadt" zu werfen.

You would hardly find S.R.C Museum of Indology in the regular list of tourist attractions; this does not come as a surprise because nestled in a residential area, this museum is easily overlooked. Spread over two floors, the entire collection belongs to Late Shri Ram Charan Sharma. The first storey is where you will find ancient astronomical instruments, crockery from England and other European nations and old and misprinted currency notes of India. The second storey is divided into two sections, the first displays some of the oldest manuscripts dating as far back as 1143 CE. Here you will find interesting exhibits like the Quran written by Aurangazeb or the entire Bhagvat Gita written on a paper as tiny as a computer chip. The second section is a mixed bag of various exhibits from different eras in history. Right from weapons, coins that are easily 7-8 centuries old and pre-historic tools to paintings from the Mughal and Rajput era, this section is definitely all about history. It is also high on the weird factor; check out the fossilized eggs, flexible stone, a piece of meteor and the floating stone. Do not forget to ask for a guide to take you around as it is included in your admission fee.
