Mandawa Haveli
was built in 1896 by Thakur Bhagwat
Singhji, the 15th ruler of Mandawa,.
This feudal principality in the
heart of the Shekhawati region was
ruled by the clan of Kachhawa Rajputs
from the house of Amber. Their ancestor
Rao Shekhaji was a scion of the
house of Amber who struck out and
carved a separate kingdom for himself
to the north of Jaipur which was
named Shekhawati (The garden of
Shekha) after him.
Originally conceived as a town
house, it was under the guidance
of Thakur Devi Singhji, the 17th
ruler that the Mandawa Haveli was
converted in to a hotel with all
modern amenities that makes it a
luxury hotel.
