The best of the painted towns of Shekhawati region are located within a 50 km radius from Mandawa. The region is famous for the marvelous Havelis.

 Best places to visit in Shekhawati Region in Rajasthan

Mandawa 

Mandawa town is located about 35 kms from Jhunjunu. The Small but elegant town Mandawa was established in the year 1756, when Nawal Singh built the fort which is now converted into the hotel called Castle Mandawa. The town however became a full-fledged town after Nawal Singh’s 2 grandsons made mandawa their home at the close of the 18th century. 

Mandawa lured number of merchants to set up shop here. You will find the murals of the Gulab Rai Ladia Haveli extraordinary, particularly in the diversity of their themes.

You would be surprised to see that Bansidhar Nevatia Haveli in Mandawa showing the Wright brothers’ maiden flight and a European making a telephone call, as well as a rather nationalistic tug-of-war between a strongman called Prof Ramamurti and a motor car driven by an Englishman.

Then there is Sneh Ram Ladia Haveli, Murmuria Haveli, Double Goenka Haveli which has humorous erotica painted on the outer left wall, a woman having sex with two men, and Krishna making love to a gopi. You can have access to this wall but through a thin passage from inside.

Bissau

Bissau is old-fashioned but very attractive little oasis to the north-west of Mandawa about 25 kms. Bissau is an amazing small town where you can see Keshargarh Fort which was built in 1746 by Keshari Singh, one of the five sons of Shardul Singh.

During 19th century Bissau town prospered a lot as it was corridor through which trading carvan moved freely between Delhi and the ports of Gujarat. It was an important link on the southern Silk route. Most of the merchant families like Poddars, Goenkas, Ruias, Singhanias, Birlas and many more originally belonged to this region and later migrated to port towns in India.

The answer to why there are so many Haveli’s in the Shekhawti region is that it was a tradition in those days whoever made it good in terms of trade and business would come back to his home place and build four things namely, a Haveli, a Baoli, a Mandir and a Dharamshala. As these businessmen became rich and multiplied their wealth they went on doing charity, erecting colleges, cenotaphs, grander and grander havelis, finally when nothing else could be thought of, they ordered that the Havelis be painted.

Some of the famous Havelis in Bissau region are Motiram Jasraj Sigthia Haveli located in one of the narrow lanes of Bissau. The small opening or entrance will lead you to the breathtaking view inside the Haveli. The façade is an extraordinary riot of rich colors. Each and every wall is painted and impressive.

Mahansar in Shekhawati region

Mahansar is located about 40 km North of Mandawa town. After you visit Bissau you can plan to visit Mahansar next Shekhawati town only about ten km away from Bissau. The small old town of Mahansar is truly delightful but sort of laid-back town.

The layout of Mahansar town is geometric and in a very less time it can be explored say about in an hour. Mahansar is also known as the customary business stronghold of the Poddar family, who in the nineteenth century moved their booming business in chintz and opium here.

The Poddars during those days commissioned some of the most skilled murals in Shekhawati. The most famous was, the Sone ki Dukan or the Golden Shop. That time it used to be the head office of the Poddars and was so called because of the lavish use of gold in the murals inside, is easily the piece de resistance.

The paintings are amzing and whoever have painted the murals must have been an accomplished illustrator who possessed a great sense of colour and composition. The highlighting point is ornately depicted war between the armies of Rama and Ravana, Rama’s wedding and Vishnu’s incarnations.

You will also find an enthralling Mahansar fort just about five minutes walk from Sone ki Dukan.  The small and elegant Mahansar Fort was founded by Thakur Nahar Singh in 1768. A portion of Mahansar Fort is now turned into a heritage hotel called Narayan Niwas Palace owned and run by Thakur Sahib Tejpal Singh and his family.

Ramgarh

Ramgarh is located about 40 km North-West of Mandawa town. Ramgarh is only about 8 km from Mahansar. In the 19th Century Ramgarh used to be one of Shekhawati’s wealthiest towns.

The town was founded by Poddars in 1791who were fled Churu town after the thakur there had levied heavy taxes on their wool business, Ramgarh boasts the largest number of murals in the whole of Shekhawati.

Fatehgarh at one point in time was also home to well-known Marwari business families such as Poddars, the Singhanias, Devras and Saraogis, who have built some of the most magnificently decorated havelis in the Shekhawati region.

Don’t miss the Nand Lal Devra now known as the Nadine le Prince Haveli. It was bought by the French woman for a whopping 3 million rupees in 1998. She is a painter herself and till now has spent over 6 million for its renovation and restoration work. You would also be delighted to see the Singhania Haveli with its huge painting of four elephants cradling goddess Lakshmi with their trunks, and exquisitely painted gopis. Choudhary ki Haveli is one of the most richly painted in Shekhawati, please check wether it is now open or still shut.

Nawalgarh

The murals in this early 20th century haveli have been carefully restored to their original glory. The museum also exhibits wedding costumes of different communities of Rajasthan.

The first thing that you need to decide before you do any research is the duration of your holidays. How many days you are going to spend in a Mcleodganj Dharamshala depending on your leaves and budget constraints? This is very important as you can decide on places of visit as per your budget and leave focusing only on a specific search on the internet.

Whether it’s a short or long vacation, the first thing you need to freeze is your arrival and departure dates.

Once your dates are finalized, make sure you book your tickets Dharamshala. Mcleodganj is located in Upper Dharamshala and most of the buses from all parts of Delhi Punjab Haryana, Jammu will go up to ISBT Dharamshala. There are number of frequent buses available from Dharamshala to Mcleodganj including shares taxis. Bus Tickets to Dharamshala can be booked online at the official website of HRTC only. Volvo AC non AC deluxe and semi deluxe buses are available from ISBT Delhi, ISBT Chandigarh, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Pathankot, Jammu, Dehradun and other cities.

Spice Jet and Air India offer daily flights from IGI Delhi to Gaggal Airport Dharamshala. Check for various low Air fare offers to Dharamshala from Delhi. You can get a flight for as low as Rupees 3000 from Delhi Dharamshala during the offer period from the airline.

The nearest Broad Guage Railway station from Dharamshala is Pathankot and Chakki Bank. Both stations are part of Pathankot. Dharamshala is about 80 kms from Pathankot and frequent buses are available from Pathankot to Dharamshala. You can also get a shared Taxi from outside station at a reasonable price.

From Delhi you have all the three options, Bus Air and Train. Buses take around 10-12 hours to reach Dharamshala from Delhi.

Day 03: Srinagar-Pahalgam-Srinagar .

After breakfast go for local sightseeing of   Pahalgam : Around Pahalgam are many places of interest, and because the place is set between fairly steep hills, it is worth hiring a pony rather than walking. Pony fares are posted at prominent locations. The most beautiful of these is the huge, undulating meadow of Baisaran, surrounded by thickly wooded forests of pine. Hajan, on the way to chandanwari, is an idyllic spot for a picnic. Filmgoers will recognize it instantly as it has been the location of several movie scenes. Situated at the confluence of the streams flowing from sheshnag lake and the lidder river, pahalgam (2,130 m) was once a humble shepherd's village with breathtaking views. 

Now it is kashmir's premier resort, cool even during the height of summer when the maximum temperature does not exceed 25 degrees , on the way to pahalgam you can visit awantipora temple ruins : this is an historic temple built by awanti warman from whom the place got its name as Awantipora. The place is usually misrecognized by the people saying pandavas place because the material used in building this place is usually panadava stones. 

That's why people misrecognize it. But all its history is written inside it. It is said that this temple has gone almost 20 feet deep under the earth and that only its top side is visible and martand temple anantnag : martand sun temple is located about 9 km northeast of anantnag district. It was constructed by king lalitaditya, a kshatriya from surya dynasty, in honour to bhaskar or the sun god. This temple is significant of exemplary aryan structure, which gives a glimpse into the skill and art of kashmiri hindus.
