Laxmangarh Fort
लक्ष्मणगढ़ किला
A fort built in 1806 on a rocky hill, overlooking an old town laid out in a Jaipur-style checkerboard grid. The courtyard-style haveli complexes in town are well known.
Laxmangarh lies in Sikar district, about 35 km south of Mandawa. In 1806 Laxman Singh, the Raja of Sikar, built a fort on a rocky hill, and the town below was laid out on a grid of streets modeled on Jaipur. The fort is privately owned, and visitors can usually climb the slope to look out over the town. Char Chowk Haveli, the 'Four Courtyard Haveli' at the foot of the hill, is made up of four courtyards and has well-preserved murals, making it another highlight. It can be combined with Nawalgarh for a day trip.
