According to the historians R.S. Khangarot P.S. Nathawat:'''It was this fort constructed by Kakil Dev, which subsequently came to be known as Amber Fort. It was later christned as Jaigarh by Sawai Jai Singh II, who thus had the satisfaction of naming three major places after his own name -Jainagar (the present Jaipur city) Jai Sagar and Jaigarh' '' R.S.
