The place overlooks Lake Maota and is a prolific specimen of Mughal architecture. Significant structures inside the fort comprise the ‘Diwan-e-Aam’ (hall for the public audiences, ‘Sukh Mandir’ made of marble and ivory, a place where the royals used to relax and ‘Sheesh Mahal’ made of mirrors and ‘Kesar Keyari’; the Mughal gardens.

I was born & brought up in Alwar & may be partial but I still can't deny the fact that it's one of the 10 best places to visit in Rajasthan.
Bhangarh is probably the spookiest place in our country.
This 17th-century fort is believed to be haunted and there is even a sign from the government of India, stating that entry to this fort is restricted after sunset.
The drive to the fort itself is quite eerie. Along your drive, you will see ruins of ancient Havelis and villages that are no longer inhabited by people, which is quite enough to spook you.
Location: Alwar, Rajasthan
