Banswara is also known as ‘City of Hundred Islands’ as many of the islands are present in the Mahi river. The name is derived from bans means bamboo shoots as bamboos were used to grow in abundance here in earlier times. The region is also famous for deep jungles that are inhabited by Panther and for rich flora and fauna. The slopes of Aravalli hills found here are the home to many plants as well as wild animals. Banswara is one of the best examples of Rajput architecture.
