Built mainly in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, the king of Jaipur, the fort was constructed as
a place of retreat on the summit of the ridge above the city. Walls extended over the surrounding
hills, forming fortifications that connected this fort to Jaigarh, the fort above the old capital of
Amber. Though the fort never came under attack during the course of its history, it did see some
historical events, notably, the treaties with the Maratha forces who warred with Jaipur in the 18th
century.[4] During the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the Europeans of the region, including the British
Resident's wife, were moved to Nahargarh fort by the king of Jaipur, Sawai Ram Singh, for their
protection.[5]
The fort was extended in 1868, during the reign of Sawai Ram Singh. In 1883-92, a range of
palaces was built at Nahargarh by Dirgh Patel at a cost of nearly three and a half lakh
rupees.[6] The Madhavendra Bhawan, built by Sawai Madho Singh had suites for the queens of
Jaipur and at the head was a suite for the king himself. The rooms are linked by corridors and
still have some delicate frescoes. Nahargarh was also a hunting residence of the Maharajas.[7]
Until April 1944, the Jaipur State government used for its official purposes solar time read from
the Samrat Yantra in the Jantar Mantar Observatory, with a gun fired from Nahargarh Fort as the
time signal.
Some scenes in the movies Rang De Basanti, Shuddh Desi Romance and Sonar Kella were shot
at Nahargarh Fort.
