The royal family of Garhi Sawai Ram initially came in this part of the country from a place called Narwar near Gwalior a big city in central India. In the mid 17th century around 1655 Shri Mukund Das Ji son of RamKumar Ji rose in prominence and constructed a fort on the top of a hill and started ruling from this fort. This fort known as the ‘fort garhi’ today.
In early 19th century the crown prince Kan Singh of fort garhi attacked and defeated a ‘meena’ republic about 10 kms from fort Garhi and got constructed a fort there in 1805. He named this fort as ‘shahipur fort’. In 1935 this fort was rechristened as “Abhay Durg, Saipur”.
Abhay durg was the preferred residence of Raja Saheb Karan Singh ji and his successor Raja Saheb Bhawani Singh ji during summer and monsoon season.
