It is located, 96 kms away from Jaipur. This is a quiet town which
was ruled by tribes of 'Pathans' from Afghanistan. The focal point
of Tonk is the Suneri Kothi, the Golden Bungalow. A fairly ordinary
monument from outside, it has stunningly rich ornamental interiors.
There are also some interesting building that accommodated the
British office. Tonk is also famous for its leather and felt
industry and one can pick up a good bargain from the markets. The
Nawab of Tonk was an avid book lover and built a sizable library of
Arabic and Persian manuscripts. Arabic and Persian Research
Institute are also located here.
