History of Laxmangarh FortBefore the origin of Laxmangarh, the hill on which the fort is built was known as 'Ber'. It was a small village. According to the beliefs of the people of Laxmangarh, once when Rao Raja Laxman Singh was returning from Fatehpur, he chose the foothills of 'Ber' hills to relax. Just at that moment a terrible event happened. A wolf attempted to attack a newborn lamb. But the lamb's mother fought bravely with the wolf. At the end of the fight, the wolf had no choice but to leave without praying. This incident inspired Rao Raja Laxman Singh to build a fort on this hill. He and his people believed that this place was the land of the brave or "Veer Bhoomi". The construction of the fort was started in 1805. Two years from then, in 1807, the fort was completely constructed. From 1807 until India gained freedom, the fort was under the rule of Roa Rajas. He was able to withstand various attacks from Fatehpur, Khetdi and Mandawa in 1882. All these attacks were led by Raja Bakhtawar Singh.

As you advance a few steps, there is a small cave containing the idol of 'Bhairavji'. Although the first impression of entering the cave raises doubts as to whether a tall or heavy person can enter it, anyone who is tall or heavy can enter the cave without much difficulty. Proceeding further and climbing a little from the cave, there is the ramp that leads to the fort. From here you can see the walls and its minarets and also the city of Laxmangarh.
