The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan granted Nagaur to raja Amar Singh and the focal point here is the fort itself. This is a small town with numerous fascinating monuments. The historic Ahhichatragarh, an ancient fort has some splendid palaces, temples and palatial mansions, some of which has been built by Akbar and Shah Jahan. The beautiful Moti Mahal, Badal Mahal, and Hawa Mahal are superb architectural creations. Nagaur is also the venue of an annual cattle fair that draws people from distant places.
