Madhogarh (Hindi: माधोगढ़) is a village in Mahendragarh district, Haryana, India. It is located at the foot of Madhogarh Hill of Aravalli Mountain Range. Madhogarh Fort is on top of the hill.
It is located 13 km from Mahendragarh city on Mahendragarh-Satnali road, 35 km from the district headquarters at Narnaul and 326 km from the state capital, Chandigarh.
Rao Shekha, a Shekhawat rajput (sub-branch of Kachwaha or Kushwaha), was the founder of Shekhawati, who originally divided Shekhawati into 33 Thikana (also called a Pargana), each styled as Thakur with at least a 'kuccha' mud fort, some of which were fortified further with stone. After him, additional thikanas were granted to the descendants of subsequent generations.
The Government of Haryana has plans to develop an integrated tourist resort incorporating the Madhogarh Fort.
