[2][3] In August 1947, at the time of Independence, Rajasthan included 19 princely state & 3 thikanas (Chiefships) of Neemrana, Lawa & Kushalgarh.

In 1772 Lawa became a jagir which came under the control of the Marathas through Pindari leader Amir Khan, who would later become the Nawab of Tonk.

The civil area maintained the three, ’administrative block’, 'common living quarters’ and the ladies section which from Mughal days was better known as the Zenana Mahal.

The administrative block houses the courts also referred as Dari Khana, meeting place for all major decisions.16th century henceforth every successive ruler of Lawa went on to add more buildings to Barla Mahal (outside mahal) for men, time worn but they still faithfully replicate history.

Though the main fortified ramparts are still there the burjh on the four corners are clearly visible yet it would not be erroneous to address this building as a Chouburjha structure.
