Inside the fort several distinctive wonderfully crafted palaces, like Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Sheesha Mahal (Mirror Palace) can be found, as well as some well stocked museums of howdahs, royal cradles, miniatures (paintings), armoury etc..

On the way up to the fort one has to pass through seven impressive gates,  each dating from a different era and each with a name to commemorate an important event in history, mostly these are victories in war. The walls are up to 36m high and in some places more than 20m wide.

Famous is the legend of "Raja Ram Meghwal", who was buried alive in the foundations of the fortress by Rao Jodha in order to ensure a propitious future of the fort and therefore the Rajput clan of Rathore. His family in return is looked after by the Rathores until today.

Jaswant Thada is located at the burial ground of the rulers of Marwar state Rajasthan, about 1km east of Meharangarh Fort.

It is a cenotaph to commemorate the Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, built by his son Maharaja Sardar Singh in 1899.

Inside the mausoleum is a gallery with portrais of the rulers of Marwar dating back to the 13th century.

Part of the grounds is a wondeful garden that also contains some more cenotaphs in memory of the Ranis of the family of the Rathore clan.
