History:

In the year 2014, Thakur Sidharth Singh, became the 14th and present Thakur Saheb of Rohet and Double Tazimi Sirayat of Jodhpur.

Back one day when he stumbled upon a treasure - “Mali Nathji ka Dhora”, the holy hill dedicated to the Warrior God in Marwar, he wondered how he could share the remarkable beauty of the place with others.

It was then that with his wife Rashmi, he planned to build Mihir Garh, a fort where people could soak in the beauty of the sunset and experience something magical at the charm of the desert.

More than 100 artisans, craftsmen and carpenters came together to make this dream a reality.
