India Attractions
Description
Venue: Tonk When: Daily
Also known as the "Lucknow of Rajasthan", Tonk is famous for its colourful mosques, mansions and havelis and is well worth a trip from Jaipur.
Tonk was once ruled by tribes of Pathans from Afghanistan and its highlight is the Suneri Kothi, or Golden Bungalow. A fairly ordinary monument from the outside, it has a stunningly rich ornamental interior. The town is also famous for its leather and felt industry and the markets have good bargains. An Arabic and Persian Research Institute is also located here.
