to the wealthy clan of Paliwal Brahmins, Pali's various buildings and
architecture resonate with its varied and complex history. Several
decadent, beautiful baori's still exist, pointing towards the old
lifestyle of Pali's Rajput rulers. A trip to the Lakhotia Garden,
surrounded by a pond and home to the Mahadev temple, is a significant
element of each traveller's itinerary for Pali. The Balleshwar Temple,
one of the only 8 Ashtavinayak temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha, is a
fine example of the spiritual air in Pali. Most of the ornate havelis
have now been converted to heritage hotels, some of which still maintain
the history through antique furniture and interiors.

Todgarh-Rawali Wildlife Sanctuary
About
Located pretty much in the middle of the Aravelli hill ranges, the Todgarh Raoli Wildlife Sanctuary is a 500 sq kms of tropical dry deciduous forest, which means that for a few months of monsoon, the trees are green otherwise, they are quite leafless and dry for most part of the year. With pockets of evergreen patches, this is a unique habitat that exhibits character of hills, plains and the desert regions. Once a tiger territory, today it has a thriving population of leopards and sloth bears. The official handout informs that there are 200 species of birds but it is the grey jungle fowl that is abundantly found here. In the world of reptiles, special mention must be made of the star tortoise that was till recently a very common but disappeared when the Southeast Asian markets discovered them as a part of their meal. Now they are hard to find.
