Ancient Site Bhangarh Located at Bhangarh District Alwar, Rajasthan, India

These Are some pictures of English And Urdu Commemorative Stones, Guide Map Stone and Different Views of  Ancient Site Bhangarh Located at
Bhangarh District Alwar, Rajasthan, India

Bhangarh is basically a village  that is famous for its famous historical ruins. The most remarkable of its buildings are the Hindu Mandir of Gopinath, Shiv (Someshwar), Hanuman, Ganesh, Vishal Devta, Lavina Devi and Keshav Rai.

The town was established in 1573 (VS 1631) during the rule of kaccwaha Rajput ruler of jaipur Bhagwant Das as the residence of his second son Madho Singh, the younger brother of Emperor Akbar’s general, Man Singh I. Madho Singh participated in many campaigns with his father and brother. The next ruler of Bhangarh was his son Chhatra Singh after whose death in 1630, Bhangarh slowly declined. When the Mughal Empire became weaker after the death of Aurangzeb, Jai Singh II attached Bhangarh to his state by force in 1720. After this Bhangarh diminished in population, and since the famine of 1783 (VS 1840) the town has remained uninhabited. Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited.
