About Roopangarh Fort
A.D. 1611: Kishangarh where every inch of land was conquered by a brave lineage of Kings;
who after many a glorious battle and heroic sacrifices established their kingdom.
A.D. 1649: Roopangarh, they made it their seat of power. Strategically located, on the
main Moghul route- bordering the desert and the vast plains of Sambhar Lake- 'ROOPANGARH
FORT' became the hub of activity. Within its nine turreted fortification were made
foundries, armouries, granaries, underground passages, jails and palaces. The best of
architecture music, poetry and painting were patronized and refined at a court where the
delicate touch of its artists transcribed the beauty of living to exquisite miniature
paintings, known today as 'The Kishangarh School.
A.D. 1997: The present Maharaja Brajraj Singh (20th generation of direct descent since the
founder) opens this majestic Fort to receive discerning travellers who enjoy a sense of
history and seek a story from the silent walls.
