Ahmednagar Tourism

Ahmednagar is a small town in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It derives its name from its founder Ahmad Nizam Shah I who established the town in 1494 after a victory against the powerful Bahamani empire. A number of palaces and monuments of the Nizam Shahi dynasty founded by Ahmad Nizam Shah I are found here. The Ahmednagar fort needs a special mention amongst them all.

Some of the rooms inside the fort have been converted into museum. It is presently under Indian National Military force.
