Nagaur (नागौर) is a district in Rajasthan, India, in the state’s north-central region. Its landscape forms part of the dry plains of Marwar, with farming settlements and historic towns. Nagaur is known for its cattle fair, trading traditions and imposing fort, which reflects the area’s long association with Rajput and Mughal rule.
Rajasthani languages and Hindi are widely spoken, and local culture includes folk music, religious festivals and livestock fairs. Agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce and mineral-based industries support livelihoods. Crops suited to dry conditions, including millet and pulses, are important. Nagaur Fort, also called Ahhichatragarh, is a major landmark, while temples, mosques and traditional markets contribute to the district’s cultural character.
Residents commonly care about reliable drinking water, groundwater depletion, irrigation and drought resilience. Other civic priorities include rural roads, accessible healthcare, school quality, employment opportunities and sanitation. Supporting farmers and livestock keepers while protecting historic places is also important.
