Nagaur
Nagaur (also Nagor and Nagore) is a city and municipal council in Nagaur district of the state of Rajasthan in India. It is the administrative headquarters of Nagaur District. The Nagaur city lies about midway between Jodhpur and Bikaner.
Nagaur is famous for spices and sweets (mithai). Nagaur has huge mineral resources. Nagaur also has a temple of Maheshwari community Kuldevi in the name of Deresiya Mata Mandir and the very famous Banshiwala Mandir in the heart of city.
Earlier Empire belongs to gaur dynasty rajputs. 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. [citation needed]. 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.
Another similarity between Ajmer and Nagaur is the early founding of Sufi shrines at both places. One of the earliest Sufis to come to Nagaur was Sultan Tarkin, whose shrine was established during Hindu rule. After Khwaja Moinuddin established the Chishti Sufi order at Ajmer one of his disciples, named Hamiduddin, came to Nagaur. Hamiduddin accommodated some Hindu principles in his teachings—he became a strict vegetarian and lovingly reared a cow in his shrine.
In 1391, during the reign of Násir-ud-dín Muhammad Tughlak, Jalal Khan Khokhar was assigned governor of Nagaur. Between 1405-07, Shams Khan, brother of Muzaffar Shah I founded the Nagaur principality
Following the defeat of combined armies of Shams Khan and the Gujarat Sultanate at the hands of the powerful Rajput ruler Rana Kumbha in 1455, the town and nearby areas subsequently fell under the dominion of the Sisodiya Rajput rulers of Mewar.
During the Mughal reign in the 17th century, Amar Singh Rathore (30 December 1613 – 25 July 1644) was made the emperor's representative (subedar) of Nagaur.
Most of the palatial structures inside the fort were built by Bakht Singh of Marwar. Bakht Singh was made the lord of Nagaur by his elder brother Abhai Singh of Jodhpur. As the lord of Nagaur, Bakht invaded Bikaner and fought Jaipur at the Battle of Gangwana.
