Sikar

Founded in the late 17th century, Sikar is famous for its "havelis" (mansion) with beautiful frescoes and intricately carved temples. Sikar was one of the rich towns and a massive fort was erected to protect it from invasions. There is a large bazaar where you can pick up some souvenirs to be carried home.
