Situated in the Kekri subdivision of Ajmer district about 107 kms south east of Ajmer, this village is known for its treasure trove of archaeological and antiquarian relics. The most renowned of them all is the temple of Varaha Avtar. The rathore ruler Udai singh and his son Jorawar Singh built Fort Baghera in the 17th century. A fairly large fort, it is made of large stone blocks and has two massive ramparts with round turrets on the four corners and is surrounded by a moat. This fort braved the invasion of the mighty Marathas. Baghera has historic temples, cenotaphs, Prominent among them are the Varah and Jain temples of brave Udai Singh and Jorawar Singh who died in battle against the Maratha army.

It is famous for its ancient archaeological relics. Founded by the Chauhana king Someswara, Baghera’s was originally called Vyageraka as mentioned in a rock inscription in Bijoliya dating back to 1226 AD. Like most of Rajasthan that is strewn about with many ancient monuments and ruins, Baghera too is known for its ancient monuments. The Varaha Avatar temple depicts Vishnu in the form of a boar, his third avatar (incarnation). The temple is located within a fairly new building near the Varaha Sagar, a sacred tank. Towards the west of the Varaha Sagar is a ruined 10th century temple as well as a decorated gateway leading into the house of the chief of Baghera. A little distance away are Jain images hewn in rock. They seem to loom straight out of the ground. In ancient times the Jains had built a temple here of which these rock statues are the only things surviving.

Baghera is located on the Ajmer-Sawai Madhopur bus route.
