GANGYIASARA HIDDEN GEM OF THE SHEKHAWATI REGION
A TROVE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE N A T U R A L :The village of Gangyiasar has sand dunes and developed around a natural water body.
I N T A N G I B L E :This comprises the sand dunes and a natural water body around which the village developed.
The building crafts of the village in the form of wall paintings and embellishments still remain and can be seen over its built structures. An annual fair organised at the Rai Mata Temple, during the Navratras, is well known for its ‘kushti’/translate to Hindi or wrestling and attracts over 2 to 2.5 lakh pilgrims to the region.
The village of Gangyiasar is a standing repository of the built cultural heritage, once in its pristine glory, by far untouched by agents of modernisation.

The region around the village of Gangyiasar was
under the political control of the Chauhan Rajputs
during the 10th and 11th century until the Sultanate
invasions took over the seat of Quila Rai Pithaura,
currently known as Delhi. The history of the region
prior to this is still a matter of research.

L O C A T I O N : Gangyiasar is a village panchayat located in the Shekhawati region of the Indian state of Rajasthan. The entire village is hidden gem - a rarely highlighted inhabitant post (‘Panchpanna Guwadi’) that predates the forts and towns of the region from the era of Kyamkhani/Mughal/Rajputs.
Gangyiasar lies around 204 kilometres away from Jaipur and 259 kilometres from New Delhi. Bissau, Mehensar,Alsisar, Malsisar, Niradhanu, Mandawa and Ramgarh are the well known villages and towns located near it.
B U I L T H E R I T A G E :Over 63 structures and buildings have been identified that represent the built heritage of the settlement. These include the religious, defensive, residential, hospitality, commercial, public, infrastructure and memorial. The Shekhawati style of architecture is predominant with just one structure (the ‘Math’) built in the Sultanate style.
