If the desert blooms in myriad colours it is in the
Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, where every home is adorned
with gaily painted murals that illuminate the arid
landscape.
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. The Rajput ruler of Mandawa, Thakur Nawal Singh, 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. When the caravan traffic ceased
in the late 18th century, the traders created business
empires in other parts of the country, but returned to
Mandawa to build palatial mansions in their hometown.
Today, Mandawa is a beautiful market town of the
colorful Shekhawati region. It is famous for the
castle now converted into a heritage hotel & the fresco
paintings. One can plan an elope from the hustle of City
life to get married in a Village setting.
