The Most Attractive Part Of The Nahargarh
Fort Is The Madhavendra Bhavan, Which Was Built For The Royal Women. The Rooms
Of The Palace Have Also Been Connected By Corridors. The Rooms Of The Women In
The Palace Have Been Made So That The Maharaja Can Go To Any Queen's Room
Without Knowing The Other Queens. The Fort Is Named After Nahar Singh Bhomiya. But
Who Is This Person After Whom This Fort Was Named? Some People Believe That He

Inside The Fort For The Peace Of His Soul. And Since Then He Also Named The
Fort After Him - Nahargarh Fort.
