The remains of the camp are still there. Mandal is also known as Mandara. A tower, which functioned as a lighthouse, was built on a small hill in Mandal. A devi temple is also there in this small hill.  The history of Bhilwara can be traced back to ancient period. During this time the Neolithic culture was thriving at Bagore village. At Nandsa village there is a pillar dating back to 1st century BC, which is a proof of the Vedic rituals and culture.
