GETTING HERE

Gulab Haveli-IHCL SeleQtions, Mandawa

Built in the 18th century by Thakur Nawal Singh Bahadur as his residence, the fort offers vantage positions for sweeping views of the town. It is famous for its arched gateway adorned with paintings of Lord Krishna and his cows. The interiors showcase beautiful carvings and mirror work on the walls. 

MANDAWA FORT

Some of Rajasthan’s best-kept secrets, Mandawa’s marvellous havelis (mansions) form a walking trail, earning the town the moniker of an ‘open-air art gallery. Built by prosperous merchants in the 18th to 20th centuries, these mansions were abandoned when the families migrated. They continue to enchant visitors with antique murals, marble fountains, colourfully detailed frescoes and family crests. Key stops on your haveli trail include the Murmuria, Goenka Double and Jhunjhunwala havelis, which depict the finest Shekhawati artistry. The Chokhani and Ladia havelis and the street with Saraf havelis are some of the best in the region, while Binsidhar Newatia Haveli has some unusually modern paintings, including a boy using a telephone and a European woman in a car driven by a chauffeur. 

HAVELIS OF MANDAWA

Set near Gulab Haveli, Castle Mandawa Museum is known for displays local history and artefacts. The setting reflects the character of the destination and offers visitors a chance to explore at an unhurried pace while engaging with local culture and landscape.

CASTLE MANDAWA MUSEUM

The city’s lively, premier market is lined with small shops selling traditional Rajasthani miniature paintings on paper and cloth, colourful bandhani (tie-and-dye) textiles, lacquer bangles, hand-painted wooden chests and cradles, brass and copper utensils, and compact carved wooden furniture.

MAIN BAZAAR

This 150-year old rustic structure is celebrated for its classic stepwell design, intricate craftsmanship and crystal-clear water. It stands as  testament to the ingenuity of Shekhawati’s water management and artistic heritage. Visitors can marvel at its geometric symmetry and meticulous architecture, but be careful because the water is deep and the well has no railings. According to local legend, visiting the site of the well makes wishes come true.

HARLALKA WELL

Mandawa is renowned for its intricately painted havelis and fresco art. Walking through its streets reveals architectural treasures and stories from Rajasthan’s trading past. The town offers a unique glimpse into heritage and craftsmanship.

Hotel Classification

Engage with a remarkable history within thoughtfully-preserved heritage spaces steeped in art and folklore. From local customs and engaging in-house rituals to interactive city trails, our curated experiences offer an intimate immersion into tradition, craftsmanship and a life surrounded by timeless beauty.

Explore Gulab Haveli’s rich past on a guided tour featuring intricate frescoes, historic architecture and storytelling sessions, offering an intimate look into Shekhawati’s noble legacy.

Walk through the storied lanes of Mandawa on a guided trail that brings its iconic frescoes to life. Adorning the walls of grand havelis, these intricate, 19th century paintings - often crafted from gold and indigo— depict mythology, folklore and glimpses of a bygone era. Uncover the artistry, symbolism and narratives that have transformed the town into an open-air gallery, where every façade tells a story.

THE FRESCO TRAIL

Witness the art of lac bangle-making, where skilled artisans transform molten colour into delicate adornments using time-honoured techniques. Watch the process unfold up close - from heating and shaping to intricate detailing - gaining insight into a craft passed down through generations, now expressed in pieces you can wear and cherish.

THE LANGUAGE OF LAC

Experience a traditional henna ritual as experienced artists adorn your hands with intricate, hand-drawn designs using 100% natural, fresh henna, fragrant with hints of eucalyptus, clove or natural essential oils. Set in a serene outdoor setting, this graceful Indian ritual offers a nostalgic throwback to community celebrations, leaving you with a beautiful, cultural keepsake of Mandawa.

MEHNDI SESSION

Set out into the dunes, a local farm or orchard for a secluded picnic, where a beautifully laid table awaits amidst a wind-swept landscape and open skies. Relax on charpoys and savour a curated Rajasthani meal, surrounded by the rustic charm of Mandawa. The experience can be tailored for groups of all sizes.

A TABLE FOR TWO

Relive the tradition of a leisurely high tea with Gulab Haveli’s sunset ritual that embodies a fast-vanishing Indian custom of a rooftop break. Amidst our heritage surroundings and unhurried conversations, savour a curated selection of teas and delicate accompaniments, as the day transitions into night.

SUNSETS ON THE TERRACE

Settle into a horse-drawn carriage or camel cart and set out on a ride through Mandawa’s village lanes and open landscapes. This experience echoes a bygone era of Shekhawati’s merchant families who once traversed these routes. Passing sand dunes and frescoed havelis, this gentle ride offers a glimpse into a slower  rhythm and the charm of rural Rajasthan.

VINTAGE RIDES

We’ve set the gold standard for romance with this exquisite dining experience. Enjoy a meticulously-crafted meal in our resplendent, gold-plated room, where the soft glow of candlelight promises a memorable evening of quiet conversation and a rare sense of intimacy.

A GILDED EVENING FOR TWO

Set out from Gulab Haveli on a guided pilgrimage to the revered Salasar Dham Balaji Mandir, a powerhouse of faith and devotion, located in the rural heart of Shekhawati. Seek blessings from the self-manifested idol of Lord Hanuman, uniquely depicted with a human-like face, and the Akhand Jyoti (eternal flame), believed to carry divine energy. Witnessing the temple’s distinctive rituals, such as coconut offerings tied in prayer and the presence of a sacred sword symbolising Hanuman’s warrior aspect, makes the journey a deeply personal and transformative experience.

MIRACLES OF SALASAR 

Travel to one of Rajasthan’s most mystic shrines, the temple of Lord Khatu Shyam Baba - an avatar of Lord Krishna -  in the district of Sikar. An architectural wonder built with white marble, the temple is adorned with intricately painted mythological scenes that narrate lesser-known stories from Hindu epic Mahabharata. Learn about Barbareek, the powerful grandson of Bhima - who was taught the art of war by his mother - and immerse in the devotional energy of the temple, which reaches full crescendo during the annual Falgun Mela held in February / March.

MEET THE FOREST WARRIOR

Set out on a guided visit to Rani Sati Temple in Jhunjhunu, one of India’s largest temples dedicated to a revered Rajasthani woman  who lived between the 13th and 17th centuries. Admire the temple’s intricate murals and ornate detailing, and seek blessings from the trishul (trident) that replaces a traditional idol. This powerful representation of feminine bravery and spirit offers a deeply moving experience, enhanced by the grandeur of the temple.
