Surajgarh Fort is an 18th Century fortified Palace located in the Shekhawati Region of Rajasthan. The name literally means "The Castle of The Sun". Its a 4 acre palace is has been restored to a heritage hotel giving guests the experience of the royal past. The Fort is managed by Tikaraj Aishwarya Katoch and Tikarani Shailija.

Tikaraj Aishwarya is the son of Princess of Jodhpur and Maharaja of Kangra. The frescoes for which Surajgarh and Shekhawati are famous owe their existence to the many travelers who came through this region, bringing along with them stories of the lands far away, the local populace started to decorate their homes with frescoes of the tales told by the travelers and from scenes from the Bhagvad Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata.

The materials used for painting the frescoes were crushed cowrie shells, lime and vegetable dyes which were produced locally. The cowrie shells were used as currency at one time, but since the chipped and broken shells had no value, they were crushed to produce a water resistant base for the frescoes.
