An industrial city, Bhilwara came to be called so because it had a huge majority of Bhils inhabitants.

However, these Bhils were driven away by peasants. Ironically, very few Bhils live in Bhilwara now.

There's another story attributed to how the place got its name.

Bhilwara reportedly had a mint where coins known as 'Bhiladi' were minted and thus came the name of the city.

Renowned in India as the 'Textile City', Bhilwara is home to more than 14,000 small-scale industries.

Situated at a distance of 13 kilometers from Bhilwara, Mandal houses a village called Meza where an irrigation dam has been constructed on river Kothari.

The dam site has boating facilities and a picturesque lake for company.

These make for beautiful tourist destinations. A Neelkanth Mahadev Temple here is also one of the must-see places.

Walled with two gates on the north and south, Bijoliya is situated on a plateau called Uparmal and makes for a beautiful sight.

The place has five Jain temples dedicated to Parsvanath. Then, there's a reservoir called the Mandakini Baori.
