Going into the fortified township of Vadhwan, tourists cannot but get awed by the simplistic structures of the erstwhile kingdom of Jhala Rajput rulers, who had a major influence on the culture of the region. Also, remarkable is the culture of Jainism in this section of Gujarat. Vadhwan city is a part of the Surendranagar district of Gujarat located about 111 kms from the town of Ahmedabad. Vadhwan is a known location for its old world royal charm and serene space with a life and culture of its own.

Vadhwan rulers belonged to the Jhala Rajput clans and had good administrative and culturally inclined society. To provide sufficient protection to their clan and the people, the town of Vadhwan was fortified and gates were erected at most places to provide safety. Some of these gates and the fortified walls are still found in the city, although it has grown beyond these walls. Vadhwan was the centre of the princely state by the same name, which in earlier days was known as Vardhamanpuri, the name being derived from the great Jain Thirthankaras, Bhagwan Vardhaman. The prime ministers of this princely state belonged to the Rawal family who were given the title of Dewan Bahadur. Under their rule, a number of important structures were constructed, mostly during the era of 18th and 19th century.

Various structures which adorn the landscape of Vadhwan in Surendranagar district are related to Jainism, but there are two important tourist important palaces, the Hawa Mahal and Raj Mahal. The latter was the residence of His Highness Balsinhji in 19th century, replete with exotic gardens, cricket pitches, fountains, tennis courts and lily ponds.
