Jaigarh Fort- Jaipur, Rajasthan

Posted on December 22, 2008
Jaigarh Fort- Jaipur, Rajasthan

There are many scenic spots within the Jaigarh Fort and above is one of them. However, a person who chatted with us in the hope that we will hire him as a guide told us a very interesting story. He said that there is (or was) huge treasure buried within the fort. But whenever the government of India has tried to recover it, they have been unable to find it. I do not know if there is an iota of truth in this story but it for sure makes for a colorful story.

    It could well be true. For the sake of mystery let’s hope it is true 🙂

    I also heard that in the past the Fort was shut down by the Government to search for that hidden treasure but it was in vain. To me, the wonderful Fort with its armoury of swords, shields, guns and other invaluable items in its museum itself is a treasure!
