The princely state of the Jhalas, Jhalawar was created in 1838 AD after being separated form Kota by the British. Remarkable contributions from various ruler including Zalim Singh I made it a
culturally rich state. Lying in the south eastern region of Rajasthan at he edge of the Malwa plateau, Jhalawar has rocky but water-laden verdant landscape, unlike much of Rajasthan. With some
exquisite pre-historic cave paintings, massive forts, thickly wooded forests and exotic wildlife variety, Jhalawar boasts of rich historic as well as natural wealth. One can spot countless
species of birds as one drives past the lush countryside. Red poppy fields and orange laden orchards make the countryside all the more fascinating and colourful during winters. The area around
Bhawani Mandi is known for contributing a major share to the production of citrus in the country. Inscription and some marvelously built temples. |
