About this audio guide
This guide to Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur opens in 1734, as Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II tries to raise a hilltop fortress above his new capital, only to find each night's work mysteriously undone. You'll hear about the frightened laborers, the royal priest sent to investigate, and what he learned about the hill's guardian spirit, a Rathore prince named Nahar Singh Bhomia. A small temple inside the fort still marks where the story was settled.
