Geography & terrain

Tonk lies in the Tonk district of Rajasthan, 90 km from Jaipur and 200 km from Delhi — the Arab-culture town of the region, its 19th-century mosques, the havelis and the lakes set on the Banas plain.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 19th-century Nawab era — the Arab-culture town of the 19th-century-era mosques and the 1817-era Nawab life of the Tonk state, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Jaipur circuit and the home of the 19th-century-era mosques and the havelis and the 2000s-era restorations; the town's history of the 19th-century-era libraries and the lake walks, gives Tonk its Arab character.
