Nagaur
THE GATEWAY TOWNSHIP
Travel Angel Says: Nagaur with its massive ramparts and impressive gateways is one of the
fascinating towns of Rajputs. The town was granted to Raja Amar Singh
Rathore by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The historic Nagaur Fort houses splendid palaces, temples and palatial mansions. Some of the beautiful palaces within the fort including Moti Mahal, Badal Mahal and Hawa Mahal are all splendid architectural creations. The courtyard or Baradari has painted walls, adorned with some exquisite frescoes and lovely murals which are a blend of the Persian and the typical Nagaur styles.The distinctive highlights of Nagaur temples are their decorated walls and entrances, ornate with beautiful paintings depicting various episodes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
The paintings in the Jain temples. depict motifs related to the life of Lord Mahavira and Parsavnath. The 'Tarkin ka Dargah' is a noteworthy 15th century mosque worth visiting.
Nagaur is the venue of an annual cattle fair held in Jan/Feb. During the four day festival. the town is thronged by cows, bullocks. oxen and camels accompanied by turbaned sellers and eager buyers.
Cock and bull fights, camels races, folk dances and music enhance the excitement of the fair.
