Nagaur. If you go to this city of Rajasthan and pay attention, you will see that now there are seven beautiful doors inside the city, while the truth is that the city slowly settled around these doors. In fact, 7 gates were built to protect the Ahichhatrapur fort. Their main purpose was to protect against external invaders. These seven gates were built to divert attention from the fort in case of attack by external enemies.
There is also a special thing that a temple of Ganesha was built outside every door of Nagaur. It is believed that Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and these temples were built to avert every crisis in the city. Along with this, ponds were also built behind every door, but now some ponds have become extinct. Know the special things about these seven doors.
