town boasts of some of the finest frescoes in the Shekhawati region.
The town has a colourful bazar and a fort, new a little disfigured,
yet worth of attention.

numerous havelis; prominent among them are the Aath (eight) Haveli
complex, Anaadilal Poddar haveli, Jodhraj Patodia haveli, Bansidhar
Bhagat Haveli, Chokhani heavily and Hotel Roop Niwas Palace.
