Wikipedia says about it:
"Mahansar is town of Shakhaweti region in Rajasthan, India. It was founded in
1768 by the Thakurs of one of the branch of Shekhawats. It is located in
Jhunjhunu district at the distance of 40 km from Jhunjhunu near the trifurcation
of Jhunjhunu, Churu and Sikar districts. It is known for the Sone-Chandi ki
Dukan dating from 1846. It incorporates gold leaf in its intricate paintings.
This haveli has three vaulted ceilings; scenes from the Ramayana are painted on
the left one, incarnations of Vishnu on the centre one, and scenes from the life
of Krishna are to be found on the right one"
