Geography & terrain

Nawalgarh lies in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, 130 km from Jaipur and 30 km from Jhunjhunu — the haveli town of the region, its painted mansions, the art and the quiet lanes set on the Shekhawati's painted country.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 18th-century merchant era — the town founded by the Nawal Singh (1737) and the haveli capital of the Shekhawati's merchant families, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Shekhawati circuit and the home of the 19th-century Aath Haveli and the murals of the Podar Haveli; the town's history of the Seth families of the 18th century and the paintings of the local life, gives Nawalgarh its haveli-town character.
