This Video is based on my visit to Ajabgarh Fort Alwar(अजबगढ़ का किला) and in this video I have discussed about the Ajabgarh Fort history in Hindi. Apart from Ajabgarh Fort History(अजबगढ़ किला), I have also told about why do we call Ajabgarh Fort haunted and the complete Ajabgarh Fort story in Hindi. A lot of people often talk about Ajabgarh Bhangarh(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़) together and that is why they search for Ajabgarh Bhangarh ki Kahani(Ajabgarh Bhangarh ki Story/अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ की कहानी) and Ajabgarh Bhangarh ka Kila(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ का किला) and also about Ajabgarh Bhangarh ka Rahasya(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ का रहस्य). So, this one is the video(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ की वीडियो) about only Ajabgarh ki Kahani(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ की कथा) and its not Ajabgarh Bhangarh ki Video(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ किला) as we have already made a video on Bhangarh previously. So, I will be making a separate video later in which I will collectively talk about Ajabgarh Bhangarh Alwar(अजबगढ़ भानगढ़ की भूतनी).
Amer's ruler Madho Singh's son Chatr Singh’s died in the year 1630 and after that people started immigrating to Ajabgarh fort, which was known to be built by Ajab Singh, for a better livelihood. Later in the year 1720 when the Mughal Empire started declining, Raja Jai Singh II (who built Jaipur) forcibly annexed the Bhangarh fort, perhaps causing further immigration, and in the year 1783 a devastating famine forced the remaining to move out and seek greener pastures.
The Ajabgarh village which is located quite close by, also holds a palace in which only the walls now remain. There are a lot of beautiful abandoned havelis in Ajabgarh that still stands, and one can easily spend a lot of time walking through the streets exploring these closed. A small part of the village is still inhabited and there is also a temple in Ajabgarh from the times of Ajab Singh, which has crumbling remains of the town walls that shows it was once a forted area, quite like the Bhangarh fort. The entire area presents a wonderful landscape with the low rolling Aravalli ranges and dense forests, which makes for a perfect road drive specially during the monsoon and winter months.
The two ASI sites of Bhangarh as well as Ajabgarh are situated quite close to Jaipur and Sariska, and to visit both you need to start early in the morning and cover both the places by day end. Bhangarh can easily be reached within one and half hours from both Jaipur and Sariska, and the easiest way to reach Bhangarh is by a car. Best time to travel is during the winters and monsoon.
