Khimsar Fort (Nagaur) |
.jpg) Perched on the edge of the Great Thar Desert in the heart of rural India, the unique fort at Khimsar offers a wide range of experiences. The battle - scarred walls and turrets remind of the glorious past. The royal family moved in the mid-18th century, and a new "zenana" or ladies' residence was built with finely carved windows in stone grills to provide "purdah" or veil for ladies-in-waiting. In the 1940s, Thakur Onkar Singh built a regal wing for himself. Today, the Khimsar Fort ranks amongst the premier classified heritage hotels of India.
