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‘s 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 bullfights, camels races, folk dances and music enhance
the excitement of the fair.
