Maharaja Lachhman Singh of Shekhawati princely state planned it nearly 300 years ago under the Shekhawati region of erstwhile. The reigning kingdom of jaipur had many thikanas and was one of them. The Thakurs of these Thikana were called Maharajkumars and Mahendra Singh, son of HH Maharao Shri Sir Madho Singh Ji Bahadur was the first Maharajkumar of Lachhmangarh and that happened to be the Maharajkumars of Lachhmangarh.
Most recently, Lachhmangarh has been of public curiosity due to its place in modern literature. The fictional character Balram Halwai from the bestselling novel The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga came from a village by the same name, but it isn't the same village, because the book is actually set in the Gaya District in the vicinity of Bodh Gaya in the state of Bihar.
Maharajkumars
The Thikana of Lachhmangarh was granted by HH Maharao Shri Sir Madho Singh Ji Bahadur of Shekhawati in 1936 to his son, Mahendra Singh.
Maharajkumars were:
1. Maharajkumar Mahendra Singh (1936-1967)
2. Maharajkumar Rai Sen Singh (1967-1991)
3. Shri Sahib Rampratap Singh (1991 – present)
Sahib Vaijyant Singh
There is a very rich and inspiring history attached to the imposing fort built by Rao Raja Laxman Singhji of Sikar, in the year 1805. Before Lachhmangarh came into existence, this hilly region was known as ‘Ber’ a small non-descriptive village.
Folklore has it that once while returning from Fatehpur, Rao Raja Laxman Singhji was relaxing on the foothills of ‘Ber’ (where the fort stands today) when he saw an awe-inspiring scene. A wolf came from somewhere and attacked a newly born lamb. The wolf tried very hard to kill the lamb but the mother sheep put up a tough front and fought the wolf bravely compelling him to leave . On seeing this incident, Rao Rajaji and his companions decided to build a fort at this site and considered the foothill to be a ‘Veer Bhoomi’ (Land of the Brave).
