Mehrangarh Fort

Mehrangarh Fort was constructed towards the end of the 15th century. The fort was built with defence in mind, and the slopes and the sudden twists and turns in the structure were meant to prevent the movement of enemy elephants. There are seven gates, which include Jayapol(victory), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. The museum in the Mehrangarh fortress is a standout amongst the most generally-loaded galleries in Rajasthan. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms. The Fort’s museum, restaurants, audio tour, and lively on-going programs of exhibitions, festivals, craft bazaars, and other events have made Mehrangarh a true living cultural centre.
