Mandwa is one of the prime attractions of Shekhawati
region of Rajasthan. It is located in the northern region within the
triangle formed by Delhi-Bikaner-Jaipur. The small town is famous for 18th
century fort which has now been converted into a luxury heritage hotel - "Mukundgarh
Fort Heritage Hotel". The archway is adorned with interesting paintings
of Lord Krishna and his cowherds.
Mandwa Castle was once said to be an important halt in the silk route but
now it has paintings on folk and social themes. European themes find a clear
cut reflection in the various murals and frescoes. The colourful frescoes
are based on different subjects ranging from the religious to the erotic;
from copies of popular English prints to witty social satire, rendered in
the inimitable style of the local artist. Mandwa is the perhaps the best
place to discover the legacy of Shekhawati region
