Rajasthan Villages - Kuchaman
Founded by Thakur Zalim Singh in 1781 AD, Kuchaman is a small village known for its impressive fort that has been converted into a grand heritage hotel today. Untouched by the forces of commercialization, Kuchaman exists in a state of blissful ignorance. In fact, Kuchaman is a wonderful place where you can observe the rural population of Rajasthan at its colorful and charming best.
Kuchaman Fort
Perched atop a 1000 ft high cliff, the Kuchaman Fort is the most important attraction of Kuchaman. Converted into a heritage hotel now, the fort displays a rich collection of original inlay work in semi-precious stones, glass and gold paint. The Sheesh Mahal (glass palace) is a sight to marvel at. Meanwhile, a colorful bazaar located below the fort is a great place to shop for handicrafts and fabrics.
Meera Mahal
This beautiful palace houses exquisite miniature paintings that depict the life of Meera Bai.
Lok Dev Temple
Built by Ranjit Singh, this temple showcases paintings of Lok Devatas like Sant Gogaji, Baba Ram Dev, Sant Ravi Das and Sant Kabir.
China Pole
Complete with intricately painted interiors, this pole was constructed by a Chinese traveler who wanted to narrate his travel experiences in a unique way.
