Highlights

Khari. Badnore Fort,
70km from Bhilwara is another heritage site worth

Bijoliya town (or
ancient Vindhyavali) is a walled city with two gates perched on Uparmal plateau.
It has three 10th century Saiviite temples, Mandakini Baori stepwell
and Jain temples built by Mahajan Lala in 12th century. The medieval
remains of the palace and two 12th century rock inscriptions are
worth seeing.
Shahpura town is an early 19th century pilgrim spot of
the Ram Snehi sect. The annual five-day 'Phool dol ka mela is held here in March-April.
Mandalgarh was the scene of many a fierce battle
during the medieval times. An old fort with low rampart walls and bastions, and
two temples, the 17th century Jaleshwar temple and a Shiva temple
are the lone survivors of the period.
Pur is a famous pilgrim spot and rich in medieval architecture.
Some of the monuments are Udan Chatri, Adhar Shila, and Patola Mahadev. Bhilwara
is an industrial city in the Mewar region of Rajasthan. Famous for its textile
manufacturing units, Bhilwara is encircled by Ajmer,
Udaipur,
Rajasamand, Chittorgarh, Bundi and Tonk districts. This land of extreme climates
is known for its handicrafts, textiles, pilgrimage places and historical sites. The region traces its history to a Neolithic
site at Bagore village. The first century BC pillar at Nandsa village is said
to be of Vedic origin. Medieval Nagar temple architect is found at the temples
of Menaal, Bijoliya and Mandalgarh.
Bhilwara owes its name to the Bhil tribes who were pushed into interior lands of
Rajasthan with the coming of outsider settlers. An alternate story talks of a
mint in the region where Bhiladi coins were minted thus gaving the land its
name. Bhilwara is
famous for its Phad paintings, Bahrupiya and Swang art, Gair dance, Jahajpur
wooden toys, mozri shoes, and Lakh bangles made by the Lakhara families.
