Vidhyadhar Nagar was laid out by the Jaipur Development Authority in the 1980s on the north of the city and named for Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, who planned the walled city in 1727. It is a large, regular colony of sectors, with the Nahargarh hills on its east and the Sikar road on its west.
It is residential and middle-class, with its own markets, a stadium and the Central Spine road that runs through it. The colony’s southern edge touches the Jhotwara industrial area and the Chomu Pulia junction.
A visitor rarely comes here except to use the Sikar road for Shekhawati; the Nahargarh fort can be reached by a road from its eastern side.
