Jhalawar
The princely state of the
Jhalas created in 1838 AD, after being separated
from Kota by the British. It is best explored by foot
within the city and a horse safari in the outskirts as Jhalawar boasts of rich natural wealth, with flora
and fauna as active.
Since it is situated at the edge
of the Malwa Plateau it has rocky but water
laden verdant landscape unlike much of Rajasthan, with
some exquisite pre-historic cave paintings, massive forts,
thick woody forests, exotic wild life variety and a lush
country side which has Red poppy fields, orange laden
orchards making it look fascinating and colourful during
winters.
The Bhawani
Mandi contributes the major
share of the fort,it houses some exquisite paintings on walls
and mirror. The museum has a collection of rare
manuscripts and sculptures and Bhawani Natya Shala is one
of the rare theatre in the area built in the 1920s.
