"The Golden City Of Rajasthan"

Nawalgarh tourism.

Fondly known as "the land of Havelis" or "open air art gallery", this miniature town of Nawalgarh is located around 30 kms away from the town of Jhunjhunu and does absolute justice to the name given to it.

It is said that the Marwaris who were off to cosmo cities like Bombay and Calcutta in search of work, used to send their hard earned money back to their homes in Nawalgarh. When their businesses started to flourish, they sent back artists to Nawalgarh in order to build plush palaces and show off their wealth. This lead to the rich architecture of this little town in Rajasthan.

Where is Nawalgarh?

Nawalgarh is located at a distance of 140 km from Jaipur in Rajasthan . Part of the Jhunjunu district , Nawalgarh belongs to the Shekhawati region – the one that is famous today for its ornate frescoed havelis (mansions).

History of Nawalgarh Rajasthan

Before the 1700s, Nawalgarh used to be a small village by the name of Rohili . This village along with a few other neighboring towns was given to Thakur Nawal Singh Ji as a land grant or jagir. In 1737 CE that the Thakur build a walled settlement with four major gates or pols. These were named Bawadi, Mandi, Agoona and Nansa . It was this gated enclosure that was developed as a trading town on the famed Silk route that passed through Shekhawati. Eventually, the new town was renamed after its founder as Nawalgarh.

One of the many havelis in Nawalgarh that were built by the rich Rajasthani business families

The town attracted several known business families to settle in. Even today, you will find the heritage havelis of known families like the Podar family, Goenkas and Mansingkas . Nawalgarh continued to be ruled and managed by the descendants of Thakur Nawal Singh Ji until 1958. This is when the Jagirs were dissolved and the town came to be a part of the state of Rajasthan.

Best places to see in Nawalgarh

Bhagton ki choti haveli - one of the places to see in Nawalgarh Rajasthan

Though a small town, there are quite a few attractions to add to your Nawalgarh sightseeing list . In fact, it is enough to merit one full day in this town. In addition, you can do a few day trips to the other Shekhawati towns like Ramgarh, Dundlod and Fatehpur . Thus, you can consider it your hub for exploring the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. I have covered the key places to visit in Nawalgarh in this section. Check it out.

Nawalgarh havelis

Many of you might be aware that the Shekhawati region is known as an open-air art gallery . This is owing to the majestic painted havelis (mansions) of the Rajasthani merchants. The sheer stories captured in the frescoes that cover these haveli walls are what draw visitors to the towns of Shekhawati.

One of the Nawalgarh frescoes found in Bhagton ki choti haveli

Nawalgarh too, has its share of these frescoed treasures. In fact, I found the Nawalgarh havelis far better preserved than the ones that I saw in the other Shekhawati towns like Mandawa. A few of these havelis in Nawalgarh Rajasthan have been converted into museums that allow you to better appreciate the vibrant culture of Rajasthan.

You are bound to spot these magnificent mansions almost anywhere in this small town. However, there are a few that you must not miss when embarking on a Nawalgarh haveli tour . Take a look.

Ramnath Podar haveli museum – a top Nawalgarh sightseeing attraction

750 frescoes adorn the walls of this heritage haveli of the illustrious business family of Podars. The paintings range from elaborate scenes of Krishna Leela and Rajasthani festivals like Teej to a long steam engine representing the first train of India . The havelis have stunning doors -especially the one that separates the inner family courtyard from the common area.

Plenty more than frescoes inside this Nawalgarh haveli museum

Ramnath Podar haveli is a perfect start to your Nawalgarh sightseeing tour . The frescoes and the haveli have been restored and converted into a museum with around 10 galleries. Visiting this Nawalgarh haveli is an orientation to all the other havelis of Shekhawati. You can discern the typical layout of these abandoned mansions and their purpose.

When you take a tour of the Ramnath Podar museum , you will learn about the different types of frescoes that you can spot on the havelis. You can read about it here .

Morarka haveli

The Morarka Haveli - one of the key things to add to your Nawalgarh sightseeing tour

Just a few steps away from the elegant Podar haveli museum is the 2 nd most visited Nawalgarh haveli. Built by Jairam Dasji Morarka , this one still has its original charm. It will feel a little rustic – especially if you visit this after the Poddar haveli. However, there lies its charm.

Fresco of Lord Jesus on the outer walls of Moraka Haveli

The frescoes of Morarka haveli seem to represent the Rajasthani royalty. In addition to that you will find paintings of Indian Gods like Lord Krishna, and Lord Ganesha. The one fresco that you must try to spot is that of Lord Jesus . You will find it in two places – one inside the haveli and one on the outer walls of the haveli.

The inner courtyard of Morarka Haveli in Nawalgarh, Shekhawati, Rajasthan

The Morarka haveli has been converted into a mini museum . The rooms here have some of the traditional furniture and arrangement. You will find a baithak (office cum reception room), the kitchen and store room, family bedrooms that are usually on the higher level and an open terrace. You can hire a guide at the ticketing desk who will best explain the place to you. He will also, help you spot the treasures in the myriad frescoes that you see on Morarka Haveli.

Bhagton ki choti haveli (Bansilal Bhagat ki haveli)

Bhagton ki choti haveli stands out with its yellow, blue and green palette.

Built by the Bhagat family, this 19th-century Nawalgarh haveli is quite memorable owing to its distinct shades of golden yellow, blue and green. This one too has an abandoned air like the Morarka Haveli and is much smaller than it. However, I found Bhagton ki choti haveli much more charming.

Portraits of Queen Victoria and King George on the arched gateway of this Nawalgarh haveli

The frescoes in Bhagton ki choti haveli have a British touch . You will find cute cherubs alongside the Indian nymphs . The entrance arch as well as a few other frescoes include portraits of Queen Victoria and King George . Paintings of popular Rajasthani folklores like Dhola Maru are other unique themes that you will find here.

The pretty windows framed by frescoes in Bansilal Bhagat ki haveli, Nawalgarh, Rajasthan

The other thing that I liked about this haveli in Nawalgarh was the carved doors and windows – many of which were framed by pretty damsels. Around them are paintings of European ladies in various poses. I could not help comparing them to the similar themes of the apsaras carved on popular monuments like the Rani ki Vav in Patan or even the various palaces of Rajasthan.

Inside Bansilal Bhagat ki haveli

The haveli is located a few meters from Morarka Haveli. It is still a private residence but if the caretaker is there, he will let you in for a small fee. It is possible that even your Nawalgarh hotel or homestay will know the caretaker. They will be able to arrange for a tour of this haveli.

Aath haveli

One of the havelis in Aath haveli complex of Nawalgarh

Aath means eight. As the name suggests, this is a complex consisting of eight different havelis occupied by extended family members of a single clan. The havelis are still occupied and hence, you can only see them from the outside.

Modes of transport theme on one of the havelis in the Aath haveli complex of Nawalgarh

The frescoes are quite faded but you can still see some interesting scenes from the life of Krishna, the romantic story of Dhola Maru and some Mughal rulers. Another set of frescoes follows the theme of transport . You will see horse carriages, elephant riders, motor cars and even a steam engine.

Other havelis of Nawalgarh

Frescoes that you can spot when you just walk around Podar haveli and Morarka Haveli

It is best to do a Nawalgarh fresco painting tour on foot . For one, most of the havelis (except the Aath haveli) are next to each other. The other reason I recommend a walking tour is the lanes are quite narrow for cars to keep moving around.

Besides the above havelis of Nawalgarh, you can keep a watch out for Surajmal Chhauchharia Haveli, Mansingka Haveli, Khokhani haveli, Sajan Goenka haveli and the Roop Niwas Palace (now a heritage hotel).

Nawalgarh fort (Bala Kila)

Let’s move away from the havelis to the other places to see in Nawalgarh, Rajasthan. The Bala Kila fort was possibly the first building that Thakur Nawal Singh established in his Jagir. Most of it is in ruins now and the few left house banks and government offices. You can pop by and see it along with Podar haveli.

Nawalgarh temples

Gher ka mandir as seen from the roof of Morarka Haveli in Nawalgarh Rajasthan

You are bound to spot a few gorgeous temples when you are out on your Nawalgarh havelis tour. In fact, when you visit Moraka haveli and Bhagton ki Haveli, you will definitely spot the artistic domes of Gher ka mandir . Sadly, the temple was closed for lunch and I could not explore it. I understand that there are numerous shrines inside this temple that have the same Shekhawati frescoes on them.

Another popular temple is Gopinath Ji Temple . This one was built by Thakur Nawal Singh ji and has an elaborate frescoed ceiling on the theme of Ramayana. It is located in the main market.

Day trips from Nawalgarh

A cenotaph in Ramgarh that can be done as a daytrip from Nawalgarh Rajasthan

After one complete day of Nawalgarh sightseeing, you can opt for a day trip to the neighboring Shekhawati towns. Here are four of them that you should definitely consider –

  • Dundlod – This is just 12 km from Nawalgarh. You can visit the Dundlod fort, Goenka haveli and the Goenka cenotaph in this town.
  • Ramgarh – 50 km from Nawalgarh, this Shekhawati town is full of frescoed cenotaphs.
  • Fatehpur – Mohan Saraf haveli and Le Nadine haveli are the two most popular attractions of Fatehpur. It is located at 54 km from Nawalgarh Rajasthan. You can combine a visit to this town with Ramgarh
  • Mandawa – the biggest hub of Shekhawati havelis is just 30 km from Nawalgarh. You can do this town as a day trip from Nawalgarh. However, note that you will need at least one full day for it. The town has a fort along with Goenka double haveli, Murmuria haveli and the Golden room of Jhunjhunwala haveli.

With that, I conclude this section on the best places to visit in Nawalgarh. I am sure that I have well-justified my recommendation of beginning your Shekhawati tour from Nawalgarh. The rest of this post is about practical tips for planning your visit here.

In addition to those, you have homestays like the Rajesh Jangid Tourist Pension that are very comfortable and budget-friendly.

Nawalgarh and all shekhawati region is a hidden gem of Rajasthan. Traveles just visit jaipur, jodhpur and but the real rajasthani bueaty is lies here… Great post & images Ami ji.

Thank you so much Jatin. I still cant get around to writing all that I have seen. There is just so much

Beautiful pictures, Ami

Thank you so much 🙂

We would definitely have a place referred to as the “golden city” on our travel plans. Good to know that we should consider Nawalgarh Rajasthan rather than following others to Mandawa. The amazing sights will definitely keep us engaged for a day or more especially if we use it as a base for day trips. The Bhagton ki choti haveli along might take a long time exploring the intricate detail and beauty. I am amazed at the colour on the Morarka Haveli and the variety in the fresco design. Too bad you did not get to visit the Gher ka mandir on this visit.

I am sure that I am going to return once to Nawalgarh and this time I am going to ensure I see the mandir.

I have made only a couple of trips to Rajasthan and definitely was not aware of the Nawalgarh havelis in Shekhawati. I really appreciate that you’ve given us not only what to see but also the history of the place, and which havelis are best to visit, as well as the fort and temples in the area. The artwork and architecture are very appealing.

Thank you Kavita. This is a little underrated and offbeat part of Rajasthan. Am glad though that I was able to visit and bring it to my readers.

Nawalgarh reminds me, my trip to Mandawa. I got a chance to stay with a 400 years haveli and amazed by the other ruins and empty havelis. The frescoes, the painting everything was just too good. Really want to explore the complete shekhawati region . Thanks for such detailed guide

Compared to Mandawa, the havelis were in better shape in Nawalgarh. I did visit Mandawa too and will share the blogs on that soon.

This journey to Nawalgarh, Rajasthan, appears to be fantastic! I will undoubtedly snap numerous pictures of the havelis and frescoes because of their equally magnificent architecture. The carved windows and doors of Bansilal Bhagat genuinely impress me. The Nwalagarh temples pique my interest as well. My heart has undoubtedly been in this place! This is definitely going on my vacation wish list.

Thanks Maria. Imagine the pictures did this to you. What it might be in real life.

I am always amazed at what India has to offer and wonder why I have not made it there yet. Nawalgarh in Rajasthan is no exception. The frescoes are truly amazing and telling of historic stories that are for sure fascinating. I love the courtyards and the photographer in me is itching to click pictures of the beautiful facades!

One lifetime in India is not enough for me to see it entirely. So you can imagine how one trip is not going to be enough. Let’s hope though that you get started with the first soon!

I love the intricate details of the inner courtyard of Morarka Haveli! And the many beautiful frescoes are truly amazing. I can see why visiting Nawslgarh is a must do in the Rajasthan area.

Seeing it live is something else. Hope you can get to it.

I have travelled around Rajasthan for a while a few years ago but I didn’t go to Nawalgarh, and now I regret it. Whilst I have seen some beautiful havelis during my trips here, I didn’t see any as beautiful as Ramnath Podar with its 750 frescoes. It was interesting to learn about the two paintings of Jesus on the walls of Morarka haveli. I wonder what their story is, surrounded by those of Rajasthani royalty.

The paintings were done at the whim of the painter.So I guess, we will never know why they painted that scene at that moment. I wish though there was someone I could trace and understand it better.

Woah! The intricate details of these structures are fascinating. I would love to visit them personally and see them up close.

It’s nice to know that they have converted Morarki Haveli into a mini museum and there are guides available so, we can learn and appreciate these places more.

The place totally stunned me with those mansions. I know that I will want to get there again to see the ones I missed.

nawalgarh tourist spot

The star attractions include the Nawalgarh Fort built by Thakur Nawal Singh in 1737 AD. Today it stands largely disfigured and houses five banks and other government offices. About one km from the Nawalgarh Fort is the salubrious Roop Niwas Palace which was built by Thakur Roop Singh Ji and Rawal Madan Singh Ji. The palace is enchanting with well-laid garden and fountains. It has now been converted into a heritage hotel.

Anandi Lal Podar Haveli built in the 1920s, today houses a school and has many fine paintings adoring its walls. It is the only haveli in the whole Shekhawati restored by its owner. Sheesh Mahal is an astounding building with a ceiling mural that includes maps of Nawalgarh and Jaipur. Other places Murarka Haveli, Bansidhar Bhagat Haveli, Chokhani Haveli, Seksaria Haveli, Bhagat Haveli, Poddar Haveli, Chudiwali Haveli, Morarka Haveli and 8 Haveli are also important sites to visit.

Nawalgarh

is another town which is a good option for travellers to make their base while travelling around the Shekhawati region. There are plenty of guest houses and hotels which are old Havelis that are converted into hotels now.

The haveli stays provide travellers, a very authentic stay and give them a feeling of how the people lived hundreds of years ago in the Shekhawati era. Food can also be provided at the Havelis stays on request and will include a basic Rajasthani vegetarian thali. There are also plenty of sweet shops selling pedas and jalebies, which are surely worth a try.

Nawalgarh

Tourist Places To Visit Nawalgarh

Tourist Places To Visit Nawalgarh is a town founded by Thakur Nawal Singh in the 18th century, situated in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. He was then the ruler of the Shekhawati region of Nawalgarh and Mandawa. Havelis in Nawalgarh built in the year 1836 are characterised by craftily painted frescoes.

The Anandi Lal Poddar Haveli , built in 1920, is one of the town’s most famous attractions. Another tourist attraction is the Bala Kila Fort, which is known for the various paintings depicting local tales on its walls.

The Jodhraj Patodia Haveli, Bansidhar Bhagat Haveli , Chokhani Haveli, Roop Niwas Palace, Ganga Mai Temple and the British Clock Tower are some other big places to visit in the area.

The major tourist attraction in Nawalgarh is Nawalgarh Fort. The fort was established in 1737. It currently houses several government offices, as well as two banks. The massive construction of Roop Niwas Palace is about one kilometre away from the fort. Its elegance is enhanced by the garden and fountains within the palace. Now, the palace has been turned into a heritage hotel. Another attraction in Nawalgarh is the Anandi Lal Poddar Haveli. In the year 1920, the haveli was constructed. The Haveli actually has a school on their grounds. Several magnificent paintings decorate the walls of the Haveli. As the name implies, the Aath Haveli Complex has eight havelis, the only haveli in the Shekhawati region that has been restored to date. Visiting is worthwhile.

Tourist Places To Visit Nawalgarh

Murarka Haveli

This is the first Haveli that I have seen in the town. I entered through a very ornate wooden door, overhanging the abundantly painted walls and niches, and the Jharokhas. I think some recent attempts have been made by the owners to restore the Haveli. There is a small bookshop selling a book on a coffee table on the Haveli. Media reports on the Haveli are available for visitors to see. I bought a ticket and asked the guard to guide me through the Haveli River.

In a way, this guide showed me the different elements of the Haveli, which was an introduction to the traditional Shekhawati Haveli . In the middle, he showed me the courtyards, named Chowks. The size of the Haveli depends on how many Chowks it has. Small ones have one, while most have two and the occasional large ones have several more. He showed me the Baithak where business meetings were taking place, the small kitchens, and the large bedrooms at the top.

Stories from Indian scriptures are scattered all over, especially those from Krishna. My eye was really trying to remain focused on one painting. Each wall around me was a colour riot. Tulsi in the centre of the courtyard gave an impression of Haveli still being occupied. On the walls of the living area, I found the impression of Ahoi Mata that is worshipped by many Vaishya families during Navratri or on Ahoi Ashtmi.

I could see, from the top of the Haveli , a spot for horses with horses properly painted on the walls. Bang opposite this Haveli is a massive temple complex in traditional Rajputana architecture but in pristine white paint, quite a contrast to the vibrant Havelis that surround it.

The Podar Haveli

The Podar Haveli

Inside the Anandilal Poddar Haveli , which is another main attraction for visitors here, a museum is constructed. This part of Haveli was converted into Museum by Mr. Kantikumar R. Poddar who is the grandson of Anandilal Poddar. It is split into several sections that display musical instruments, kitchen utensils, jewellery, gems, etc. In addition to these, objects that reflect Rajput culture and traditions are also displayed in the Museum. It has large living rooms with enormous windows for sufficient light and air.

The front portion of the 110 ft Haveli measurement. x 25 ft. which is surrounded by stunning frescos. With the help of pillars and arches, the top balcony is well designed. With beautiful paintings, all the walls of the courtyard and baithaks are completely covered. With rare and beautiful murals, the walls, gates, and corridors are uniquely painted. The fresco designed gate between the outer and inner courtyard has been listed amongst India’s top 10 gates.

The paintings in the Anandilal Poddar Haveli draw visitors from all over. You are reminded of the glorious Rajput era by the interior of the Anandilal Poddar Haveli. The stunning Haveli at Nawalgarh is truly one of the ideal places to admire the beauty of Rajput art and architecture from floral swirls, motifs and intricate artwork.
