About Nawalgarh
Founded by Nawal Singh in 1737 and the best place in Shekhawati to see frescoes in good condition, because the Podar Haveli of 1902 has been fully restored as a museum with 750 painted panels and rooms on turbans, textiles and musical instruments. The Morarka haveli is restored too, the Aath Haveli complex is not, and the Roop Niwas Kothi is a hotel with Marwari horses.
