INFORMATION ABOUT DUNDLOD

Dundlod: A fort and palace and the Goenka havelies have some fine frescoes.

A cluster of forts, havelis, and baolis-these words best introduce Dundlod, a small village situated in the heart of the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. Visiting this village is like visiting an open-air art gallery that has not changed much since the time it was built.

DUNDLOD HISTORY

Dundlod is a tiny village lying about seven km north of Nawalgarh in the heart of the Shekhawati region. Its small fort was built in 1750 by Keshari Singh, the fifth and youngest son of a Rajput ruler Sardul Singh. Major additions were made in the early 19th century by his descendant Sheo Singh. Members of the wealthy Goenka merchant family also settled at Dundlod and their prosperity is evident in their richly painted havelis here. The beautiful chhatri of Ram Dutt Goenka and the adjacent well were both built by Ram Chandra Goenka in 1888.
