Peharsar is a village located just 30 kms from bharatpur. Its original name was
lohagarh. Legend has it that it was captured in just three hours by sultan
mahmud. Pehar means a three- hours period and sar means victory and hence the
name. It is an ideal point for visit to ghana bird sanctuary, which is just 23
kms away.
Chandra Mahal Haveli (Peharsar - Rajasthan)
The mansion was built by rich muslim nobles in the 1850's and its proximity to
the mughal durbar is apparant in the architecture which reminds one of fatehpur
sikri. Among the activities of interest organised here are visits to the

cultural shows, boating and jeep safaris can be arranged on request.
