History Of Mandawa |

Mandawa, a remote feudal principality in the centre of the
Shekhawati region, was a trading outpost for the ancient caravan routes that
stopped here from China and the Middle East. Thakur Nawal Singh, the Rajput
ruler of Mandawa, built a fort in 1755 to protect this outpost. The township
that grew around the fort soon attracted a large community of traders, who
settled here.
