Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in Banswara

About Banswara — A Brief History

Banswara sits in the far southern tip of Rajasthan, in the dry hills where the state runs into Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The town's name comes from the bamboo (bans) groves that once covered the surrounding country, and the area has had a strong Bhil and Bhilala Adivasi population for centuries. The town itself was founded in 1530 by Maharaval Jagmal Singh, who carved out a small principality from the older Wagad-Dungarpur kingdom and built the Bansiya kingdom that survived as a princely state until 1948.

The district is sometimes called the Cherrapunji of Rajasthan because it gets the highest rainfall in the otherwise dry state, and the surrounding hills stay green for much of the year. The Mahi River runs through the district, and the Mahi Bajaj Sagar Dam at Banswara is one of the largest in southern Rajasthan, supporting irrigation across two states. The Tripura Sundari temple at Talwara, the Kalinjara Jain temples and the small but striking Madareshwar Mahadev temple cut into a rocky cliff fill out the heritage map.

Beyond agriculture (maize, wheat, soybean), the local economy includes a growing tribal handicraft and bamboo-craft trade, and the Banswara Syntex textile mill, one of the oldest synthetic-fabric plants in India, has been running here since the 1970s. The Anjaneshwar Mahadev cave temple and the riverside ghats at Andeshwar add a quiet spiritual layer. Shree Mahavir Courier's Banswara branches handle the daily run of mandi papers, textile dispatch, tribal-cooperative mail and family parcels for the town and the smaller settlements like Garhi, Bagidora, Kushalgarh and Ghatol every working day, with regular cross-state flows to Vadodara and Indore.
