Mandawa
Haveli was built in 1896 by Thakur Bhagwat Singhji, the
15th ruler of Mandawa,. This feudal principality in the
heart of the Shekhawati region was ruled by the clan of
Kachhawa Rajputs from the house of Amber. Their ancestor
Rao Shekhaji was a scion of the house of Amber who struck
out and carved a separate kingdom for himself to the north
of Jaipur which was named Shekhawati (The garden of Shekha)
after him.
Originally
conceived as a town house, it was under the guidance of
Thakur Devi Singhji, the 17th ruler that the Mandawa Haveli
was converted in to a hotel with all modern amenities. |
