Meditative and contemplative in the corridors of the Nahargarh Fort at midday, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Nahargarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, overlooking the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh once formed a strong defense ring for the city. The fort was originally named Sudarshangarh, but it became known as Nahargarh, which means `abode of tigers`. The popular belief is that Nahar here stands for Nahar Singh Bhomia, whose spirit haunted the place and obstructed construction of the fort. Nahar`s spirit was pacified by building a temple in his memory within the fort, which thus became known by his name.
