It
is located, 96 kms away from Jaipur. This is a quiet town which was ruled by
tribes of 'Pathans' from Afghanistan. The focal point of Tonk is the Suneri
Kothi, the Golden Bungalow. A fairly ordinary monument from outside, it has
stunningly rich ornamental interiors. There are also some interesting building
that accommodated the British office.
Tonk is also famous for its leather and felt industry and one can pick up a
good bargain from the markets. The Nawab of Tonk was an avid book lover and
built a sizable library of Arabic and Persian manuscripts. Arabic and Persian
Research Institute are also located here.
