Nahargarh Fort, perched on the rugged ridges of the Aravalli Hills, offers a panoramic view of Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, India. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the fort was initially named Sudarshangarh but later came to be known as Nahargarh, which means 'abode of tigers.' The fort was part of the city's defense strategy, along with the Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort. Its majestic architecture combines Indian and European styles, and it houses several palaces and structures, including the Madhavendra Bhawan, a summer retreat for the royal family.
