Snuggled in imperial grandeur amidst rugged Aravalli terrain, Alwar in Rajasthan was known as Mewat in olden days. A formidable Rajput bastion Alwar played an important roll in the history of Rajputana.
Mentioned as 'Matsya Desh' in the Mahabharata - one of the two great Indian epics, Alwar has a history traceable to more than 3500 years back. The right time to explore the treasures of this historic land is of course in winters.
Though susceptible to external invasions thanks to its proximity to Delhi, it was well protected by its soldiers and inhabitants who were the epitome of sacrifice and chivalry. In fact, Alwar grew in influence so much that it raided the armies of the Delhi Sultanate. Finally crushed by Sultan Balban (1267 A.D - 1287 A.D) of the Slave Dynasty, Alwar became a part of the Delhi Sultanate.
