In the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, Nawalgarh is an interesting destination. If you take interest in murals and frescoes, you have to travel Nawalgarh to get an insight into the fabulous tradition of Rajasthani paintings.

Like other places in Shekhawati region, Nawalgarh has a shared history. The impressive Nawalgarh Fort would greet you as you travel to Nawalgarh. Thakur Nawal Singh a mighty Rajput chieftain in his times had founded the fort sometime in 18th century. Although ravages of time are obvious on this fort, it still retains much of its charm. Some of the finest murals and frescoes housed here would capture you imagination as you travel to Nawalgarh fort. The fort is also known as Bala Killa.

Pay a visit to the havelis housed in this fort. The merchants, who made a huge fortune through trading activities, built their luxurious havelis here and adorned them with murals and frescoes. Elaborately carved silver or wooden gates, ornate iron and brass fittings, windows with colourful architraves, striking mirror and blue tile work would bowl you over. The paintings portray diverse themes from religious to social and political. What distinctly mark the murals and frescoes in Nawalgarh from others in Shekhawati, like havelis in Mandawa, Mukandgarh, is the evident European influence on the style and theme.
