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.
