'''Naggar Castle''' is a medieval castle, located in [[Kullu]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[India]]. Built by Raja Sidh Singh of Kullu in around 1460 A.D, it was taken over to Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC), to run as a heritage hotel, since 1978.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hptdc.in/index.php/the-naggar-castle/ |title=The Castle, Naggar |publisher=hptdc.in |access-date=2018-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619064818/http://hptdc.in/index.php/the-naggar-castle/ |archive-date=2018-06-19 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tourism-of-india.com/naggar.html |title=Tourism in Naggar |publisher=tourism-of-india.com |access-date=2018-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619063137/https://www.tourism-of-india.com/naggar.html |archive-date=2018-06-19 |url-status=live }}</ref><br />

==History==<br />
It was the official seat of kings for centuries.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://untouchedindia.in/naggar-castle-kulu-himachal-pradesh/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2018-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619063104/http://untouchedindia.in/naggar-castle-kulu-himachal-pradesh/ |archive-date=2018-06-19 |url-status=live }}</ref> According to a legend, Raja Sidh Singh used stones from the abandoned palace (Gardhak) of Rana Bhonsal to build the castle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060730/spectrum/main2.htm|title=The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum|website=www.tribuneindia.com|access-date=2017-09-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205092632/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060730/spectrum/main2.htm|archive-date=2008-12-05|url-status=live}}</ref> He ordered the labourers to form a human chain over the [[Beas river]] connecting its left and right banks to transfer the stones manually. The castle survived the [[1905 Kangra earthquake|earthquake of 1905]]. While most houses in the valley and the nearby city of Jawa were completely ruined, the castle's use of earthquake-proof techniques helped it sustain despite the calamity.<br />
