History
The Nagaur Fort was built by Maharaja of Parmar Rajputs, and historically important to Kshatriyas of India. Naagvanshi Kshatriya took shelter around Nagaur. The Parmar Rajputs rulers dominated Nagaur for a long period of time. Parmar Rajputs ruler of Nagaur were appreciated by Sisodias of Chittor and Rathore of Jodhpur. The ancient name of the city was Ahichhatrapur. .
In the medieval era, the town of Nagaur sat astride trade routes coming north from Gujarat and Sindh and those on the west crossing the Indus from Multan with a dead flat plain all around. The defence of the fort depended on the military and economic power of its rulers. And from the period of the Ghaznavid invasions, Nagaur was under the powerful Chauhan clan. A succession of rulers kept the whole of Jangladesh free from foreign rule down to the reign of Prithviraj Chauhan at the close of the 12th century. That Nagaur town came under the invaders is clear since Balban, before becoming Sultan, was given an estate centered on this desert town. But just as there were petty Hindu chiefs (of numerous castes) in the vast lands between Ajmer and Delhi, it is reasonable to suppose that such landholders were also present in the lands between Ajmer and Nagaur, paying land revenue to the Muslims and probably joining their army.
