'''Mahansar''' is a village in the [[Shekhawati]] region in [[Rajasthan]], [[India]].<ref>[https://archive.today/20130217223935/http://rajssp.raj.nic.in/MODULES/Reports/BeneficiaryReport/RptVillageWise.aspx?Technade=GPEvuUwDFaR3JDxO4GMvy5iX/FSQRSiKaqdGXyWU69BLPeEwF7ePqt4r69AvIWst9emf0aCojnTnptNzFIH0fYVQ12p2uqanLjzTYwUWlZIsXqaGaLvRekmA3VGJgoDOQIrLfljInrJHyTZFrVvKoCNCFn1PgvsrJMw8OWa5deo= Finance Department, Government of Rajasthan]</ref> It was founded in 1768 by the [[Thakur (title)|Thakurs]] of one of the branch of [[Shekhawat|Shekhawats]]. It is located in [[Jhunjhunu District]]  at a distance of 40&nbsp;km from Jhunjhunu near the trifurcation of [[Jhunjhunu district|Jhunjhunu]], [[Churu district|Churu]] and [[Sikar]] districts.
Mahansar is known for its rich and heritage culture, the Sone-Chandi ki Dukan{{clarify|date=February 2013}} 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.
It is quite popular for its heritage liquor. By the efforts of [[Rajendra Singh Shekhawat]], (descendant of the 8th generation of Mahansar family) this liquor has gained popularity in various states of India like Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Goa.{{cn|date=October 2022}}
