Known
as one of the finest
nestled in the Shekhawati
region, Mandawa is not
only famous for its
royal castle, but also
for its innumerable
Havelis where painted
facades offer a great
variety of surprises.
Mandwa was founded
by Thakur Nawal Singh,
a descendant of Rao
Shekha after whom the
whole Shekhawati region
was named. Today this
small town has come
out as a major centre
of handicrafts and furniture
industry.
