Tourist Attractions of Ajmer - Located
atop the Nagpahari hill in Ajmer,
the Taragarh Fort is indeed a
grand sight to behold. It was

surrounded by a thick stone wall
with six gates. It must also be
mentioned that the main gate,
complete with carved stone elephants
is a wonderful piece of architecture
that speaks volumes about its
creator's genius.
Built as a military structure,
the Taragarh Fort in Ajmer was an important
center for military activity during
the days of Mughal dominion in
Ajmer. The Fort Taragarh was later used
as a sanatorium for British soldiers
after they wrested power from
the Mughals.
The Fort Taragarh houses the Bhim
Burj, a huge battlement that holds
one of the world largest canons
in the world. A huge reservoir
carved out of pure rock is another

Fort in Tourist Attractions of Ajmer. Visitors can also
enjoy some grand views of the
nearby surroundings from the fort's
ramparts. The fort also houses
the Dargah of Miran Saheb, a brave
warrior who died a hero's death
while protecting the Taragarh
Fort from enemy invasion.
A perfect example of engineering
and architecture, the Fort Taragarh never fails to enchant its

old worldly charm. A section of
