Laxmangarh (official name: Lachhmangarh) is a town in the Sikar district of Rajasthan state in India. Laxmangarh is one of the largest city and tehsil of Sikar district.

==History== Laxmangarh was founded by Rao Raja Laxman Singh of Sikar Laxmangarh in 1862, from whom it derives its name. The most prominent landmark is the Laxmangarh Fort, built by Raja Laxman Singh in the 19th century. The fort sits atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the town. As part of the Shekhawati region, Laxmangarh is renowned for its intricately painted havelis, constructed by wealthy merchants during the 18th and 19th centuries. These havelis showcase stunning fresco art and architecture, making the town an important cultural and historical site. Over time, Laxmangarh became a significant trade and commercial center, influencing its socio-economic growth. Among its notable attractions, the Laxmangarh Fort stands as a historic symbol, while the frescoed havelis, including the famous Podar Haveli, reflect the artistic heritage of Shekhawati. The Raghunathji Temple is another revered site, adding to the town's spiritual significance. Laxmangarh continues to preserve the grandeur of Shekhawati’s past, maintaining its importance as a historically rich and culturally vibrant town in Rajasthan in 1807. He also built a fort there, now called Laxmangarh Fort and there is also a clock tower here, right in the middle of the market. thumb|alt=haveli of char chok|Haveli of Char Chok
