Nagaur Travel

Nagaur is a desert town located in the Jodhpur division of the state of Rajasthan. Formerly known as Ahichhatrapur, Nagaur was always a hotly contested seat of power between the sultans of Delhi, Gujrat and Marwar. But with the rise of the Mughal Empire, the power equation changed and soon Nagaur came under the Mughals and became a Sarkar (division) under the Ajmer Subah province. But after some time, the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan bestowed the chief ship of Nagaur upon Amar Singh Rathore who belonged to the royal family of Marwar but was estranged from it.

Nagaur Tourism takes you to a historical town which is best known for its grand fort and the annual cattle fair. There are also many beautiful temples and interesting monuments scattered all over the town. However, the best time to travel to Nagaur is from mid October to mid March.
