Mandawa TOURS GUIDE
MANDAWA TOURIST INFORMATION :-
In the heart of the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan lies
the beautiful small town Mandawa, known throughout the
state for its forts and havelis. The structures of this
place reminds one of the cultural and social hotspot
this place used to be in the bygone era. Mandawa is
situated in the north Indian state of Rajasthan around
190 km off Jaipur, the capital of the state. The town
lies between latitude 28.06° in the north and longitude
75.20° in the east. The fort town of Mandawa is well
connected with the other places in region through a good
network of roads. The compact and busy little market
town of Mandawa was settled and fortified in 18th
century by the dominant merchant families of the region.
The wealthy businessmen of the village constructed many
havelis and baolis with colored painting adorning their
walls. Later on, with the migration of these merchant
families, their old settlements remained in total
obscurity with no one to look after them. Despite the
time lapse and ignorance about these visual and
architectural extravaganzas, their attraction did not
fade and today they are some of the major attractions
for the tourists visiting Rajasthan.
MANDAWA HISTORY :-
Mandawa, a remote feudal principality in the centre of
the Shekhawati region, was a trading outpost for the
ancient caravan routes that stopped here from China and
the Middle East. Thakur Nawal Singh, the Rajput ruler of
Mandawa, built a fort in 1755 to protect this outpost.
The township that grew around the fort soon attracted a
large community of traders, who settled here. This
community of wealthy businessmen and traders constructed
many havelis and baolis with colored paintings adorning
their walls. In the late 18th century, the traders
started leaving this place and created business empires
in other parts of the country, but returned to Mandawa
to build palatial mansions in their hometown. Located in
the desert state of Rajasthan, the region of Mandawa is
said to have the largest concentration of household
frescoes in the world, inspired mostly by religion,
folklore and great social events, such as man's first
flight.
