Founded
in the mid 18th century Manawa skyline today
is dominated by an imposing mirage like fort
now a heritage hotel that is maintained in the
classic medieval theme with the modern luxuries.
The painted archway is painted with interesting
forms of paintings of Lord Krishna and his cowherds.
The sprawling architecture houses a different
theme in different wings. The spacious rooms
are adorned by intricate interior wall paintings
and mirror work with open terrace that offers
a panoramic view of the whole town.
The women folks of the Mandawa family who lived
in a royal style once used this floor. The ambiences
of those years still linger around the rooms.
The Mandawa family has a unique collection of
their preserved paintings and antiques that
adorn the main huge hall in the centre of the
castle, originally the durbar hall and now an
exotic lounge. The ceremonial costumes of the
family collection and the precious arms with
handle of jade and beautiful curios brought
by the British as a gift for the nobles are
well placed like a showcase of a museum. The
hotel is well equipped with modern facilities
in an ethnic set-up. A night stay is an experience
in itself with thematic evenings and oriented
and medieval cuisine. The warm hospitality is
touching.
