Our room was on the 2nd level.

For us the highlight of the stay at Alsisar Mahal was the dining room. Lighting made photos a bit difficult but it was an amazing room

Around Alsisar
I thought that this was better than what I could write
"In the multi-hued land of Rajasthan a spectacular world of fascinating hand-painted Havelis (mansions), the entire town painted with legendary stories, Shekhawati embraces the semi-arid village of Alsisar within itself. Situated 23 Km’s from Shekhawati’s district headquarter - ‘Jhunjhunu’, Alsisar is an exceptional hamlet of rustic life with an array of colors it garners deep inside the heart of its desert.
A pastoral calmness hangs in the air of Alsisar as soon you enter the boundaries of this village of ancient and medieval havelis. The nomadic hue of the lifestyle, frequent peacock calls, and some half forgotten mansions set against the backdrop of azure sky and mundane desert, speak for Alsisar, which has soaked its beauty in the rustic spell of its lifestyle. A slice of shekhawati’s painted town would float in front of your eyes when you’ll gaze through the charming havelis, step-wells, and low rise cenotaphs- some decorated while some in their ruins strewn around the mighty Alsisar Mahal. A visit to the town will leave you in awe for the remarkable architecture and paintings of Alsisar."

A local well





The stepwell -water levels very high. The photo is a good representation of the colour of the water


Very nicely presented

Again we were impressed by the knowledge that Magan & Chandra had-detailed explanations of the paintings











Another excellent cup of tea-a very hot & humid day so we sat in the air conditioned car & drank it
