Accommodation
Perhaps
the best place to discover the legacy of Shekhewati is from the comfort of
Castle Mandawa, a fortress now converted into a luxurious heritage hotel.
Part of the excitement of staying at Mandawa is the sense of discovery at
every turn: battlements that offer spectacular views of the town below, a
whimsical peacock weather van, an arched window that overlooks the verdant
garden visited by peacocks. Or the fact that no two rooms are alike in this
historic hotel! (There are 70 of them: Royal Suites, Deluxe Rooms and
Standard Rooms)
In the zenana or women's quarters, one room offers antique murals, another
has a marble fountain, while the turretroom boasts walls that are 7 feet
thick! Looking out from the window of the turret room it is easy to imagine
the maurading bandits that once roamed freely here.
