Bhilwara Tourism
Bhilwara, synonymous with industries
like cloth mills and stone quarries, is the headquarter of a small
district of the same name in southern Rajasthan. Getting to know
Bhilwara by its industries is not very unusual, as the town was
developed mainly as a large-scale industrial town. After having been
ravished by many invaders over the centuries, the British offered to
turn it into a successful mart in the 19th century. So Bhilwara itself
is not very attractive and might not figure in the mainstream tourist
itinerary, especially when it is surrounded by a host of more
glamourous destinations like Chittaurgarh (54km), Rajsamand (87km) and
Udaipur (151km).
¤ Nearby Attractions
But a trip to Bhilwara is not totally unprofitable; some of the
nearby places like Banera, Bijolia, Menal, Shahpura, Gangapur and
Mandal do offer good surprises to one who likes to tread the offbeat
track.
and more than anything else, this inconspicuous little town has a
very interesting past to boast of.
