Thanagazi Fort

Thanagazi was a major defensive town of Alwar Principality adjacent to Jaipur state. It is located about 40 kms from Alwar very near to Sariska Tiger reserve. This is a average town governed by Gram Panchayat and tehsil HQ. It is an old village, however the exact details of foundation are not available. There is a big fort located top of a small hill adjacent to the populated area. There are high ramparts and bastons. It was under control of erstwhile Maharaja of Alwar since independence. This is a massive fort having historical value. It is a historical tourist interest place in fringe of Sariska tiger Den. It seems that the fort is about four hundred years old. It is the pride for the Thanagazi town. In the near future it may prove boon for the area, if developed as a tourist place.
