Erected in 1354 at a distance of approximately 39 km from Kota, Taragarh Fort is set in the scintillating milieu of undulating hills, exotic lakes and crystal clear water reservoirs. A precipitous route up the hillside leads to the gargantuan entrance of the Taragarh fort ornamented by conscientious carvings of elephants. A view from the pinnacle offers an enchanting panorama of the town and the flanking countryside, especially the sun dissolving into the horizon.

The Taragarh fort has an enormous stone tower (Bhim Burj) which stores a hefty amount of mortar named Garbha Gubjan. This is the second largest collection of cannon in India.
Another striking facet of Taragarh fort is its giant water reservoirs which supplied water to the populace in times of crisis. During its halcyon days, Taragarh fort was prominent for its tunnels intertwining the whole hillside. These tunnels also served as emergency savior to the king and his ministers to escape when their lives were in peril.
The Rani Mahal within the fort is a minuscule palace designed for the wives of the kings. It has many glossy mural paintings and blemished glass windows, which now is in ruins.
