Land of kings and colors

The gateway to Rajasthan

In the royal state of Rajasthan, nestled amid the lush green and ancient Aravalli Hills, lies Alwar, a city that reads like a living history book. Alwar was once the seat of a princely state, and you can still feel its royal Rajput past everywhere you turn. Think massive forts, stunning palaces, and old-world homes – they're all like whispers telling the story of this glorious place. As one of Rajasthan's oldest cities, Alwar’s history stretches back millennia. Legend whispers that this very land was once known as Matasya Desh, where the Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata sought refuge during their exile. But Alwar isn't just about history. Lush forests teeming with birdsong and valleys carved by time create a breathtaking landscape here. Tranquil lakes shimmer in the sunlight, reflecting the grandeur of royal hunting chalets that once hosted Rajput princes. Alwar, situated 180 km from Delhi, serves not only as an eastern gateway to the state of Rajasthan but also as an eternal portal to its rich heritage and cultural diversity.

A treasure trove of heritage

Alwar is like a giant treasure chest overflowing with historical sites, each showcasing Rajput bravery and architectural brilliance. One of the top places to visit in the city is the Alwar City Palace, which was constructed in 1793 and features a blend of Rajputana and Islamic architectural styles. Picture yourself strolling through courtyards dotted with marble pavilions that resemble giant lotus flowers. Inside, there's a Government Museum that boasts ancient manuscripts (including one about Emperor Babur's life), beautiful Ragamala paintings and even historic swords.

Seeking adventure? Then check out the Bala Quila, also known as Alwar Fort. Perched on a steep hill, this 10th-century giant offers epic views of the city from its watchtowers. Think strong fortifications, elegant marble columns, and delicate balconies with intricate latticework – it's a feast for the eyes! Let's head down to another beauty – Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri. This captivating cenotaph, built in memory of Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh and his queen, Rani Moosi, is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Picture a double-storey building resting on a sandstone platform with intricate carvings and delicate latticework.

fascinating facts

Bhangarh Fort is infamous for being one of the most haunted places in India, steeped in eerie legends and chilling tales. Nestled at the edge of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, the fort's ruins exude an air of mystery. According to local folklore, a wizard who fell in love with the princess of Bhangarh cursed the fort after she rejected him — a curse that supposedly led to its downfall. Visitors often report an unsettling silence and a strange energy within the fort premises, especially after sunset. In fact, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has put up a board strictly prohibiting entry after dark, adding to its haunted reputation.
