[[File:Prithviraj Chauhan Memorial by Ameya Clicks.jpg|thumb|Prithviraj Chauhan Memorial, Ajmer]]

=== Pritviraj Chauhan Memorial Park, Ajmer 1996 ===
After his appointment as Ajmer UIT Chairman, Onkar Singh took the decision to build a monument or paronama dedicated to [[Prithviraj Chauhan]].<ref name=":6"/>

Onkar Singh Lakhawat, Chairman of the [[Urban Improvement Trust]] (Ajmer), established a memorial park in Ajmer to commemorate Prithiviraj Chauhan. The opening ceremony, attended by prominent political figures including the then national president of BJP, [[L. K. Advani|L K Advani]], was held on 1996-01-25. The park is located at a prominent location on a tall hill leading to [[Taragarh Fort, Ajmer|Taragarh fort]], providing a panoramic view of the city. It covers an area of approximately 3 acres. The centerpiece is a bronze statue of Prithviraj seated on a horse, which is approximately life-sized but elevated on an 11.6 foot-high stone plinth.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book |last=Talbot |first=Cynthia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m3DjCgAAQBAJ |title=The Last Hindu Emperor: Prithviraj Cauhan and the Indian Past, 1200–2000 |date=2016 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-107-11856-0 |pages=16–17 |language=en |quote="The initiative behind the commemoration of Prithviraj at Ajmer was entirely locally based, spearheaded by the Ajmer Urban Improvement Trust or Nagar Vikas Nyas Ajmer. Members of this municipal organization, along with several local officials, are listed on a plaque providing details on the opening ceremony held on January 25, 1996. The most prominent person in attendance was the well-known politician L. K. Advani, then president of the BJP party. Other luminaries present at the park’s inauguration included the deputy chief minister and the ministers for the Public Works and Forest & Environment departments of the BJP-controlled state government, who no doubt attended as a courtesy to Onkar Singh Lakhawat, then chair of the Ajmer Urban Improvement Trust. Lakhawat is a long time member of the BJP, who has subsequently represented Rajasthan in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) and been on the party’s national executive committee; in May 2014 he was appointed to head the Rajasthan Heritage Preservation and Promotion Authority." "The political clout of Lakhawat in the 1990s, and of the BJP in Rajasthan, can be gauged not only by the high profile of the politicians present at the park’s opening, but also by its size and location."}}</ref>

=== Daher Sen Statue ===
Lakhawat also built a panorama dedicated to [[Raja Dahir|Raja Daher Sen]], an old ruler of Sindh.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Lakhawat|first=Onkar Singh|date=2012|title='जब तक सिंध में एक भी हिंदू है, तब तक वहां पर भारत जीवित है'|work=Dainik Bhaskar|url=https://www.bhaskar.com/news/RAJ-OTH-as-long-as-sindh-is-a-hindu-then-there-is-living-in-india--3425382.html|access-date=2021-10-11}}</ref>

The original statue was damaged by the [[British Raj|British]] and presently is lying in the [[Pali district|Pali]] Museum. Further a statue of [[Kushal Singh of Auwa|Thakur Kushal Singh]], who had led the revolt, was also unveiled.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|last=Correspondent|first=dna|date=2018-08-31|title=Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje restores Auwa idol, Rajput pride|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/jaipur/report-chief-minister-vasundhara-raje-restores-auwa-idol-rajput-pride-2657212|access-date=2021-10-10|website=DNA India|language=en}}</ref> Onkar Singh Lakhawat said: <blockquote>"There has been gross disregard of national heroes and it needs to be set right. Their contribution cannot be ignored by terming them feudal or royal."<ref name=":9" /></blockquote>Other panoramas include those of legendary saints such as [[Mirabai|Meera Bai]], [[Ravidas|Sant Ravidas]] and Sant Bhagat Peepa.<ref name=":8" />

Regarding the allegations of the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] opposition on BJP using the paronamas as caste symbols for vote bank politics, Onkar Singh Lakhawat refuted these allegations, saying that<ref name=":8" /><blockquote>"the BJP is only trying to pay tribute to the unsung heroes through the panoramas.'''"''' </blockquote>

== Controversies ==
In February 2016, Onkar Singh inaugurated an exhibition on [[Mahatma Gandhi]] held at [[Albert Hall Museum]] in [[Jaipur]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mewar University : News|url=http://www.mewaruniversity.org/pages/news-detail.aspx?nid=284|access-date=2021-10-10|website=www.mewaruniversity.org}}</ref>

=== Ram Mandir statement ===
In October 2018, Onkar Singh Lakhawat made a statement replying to the comment on the [[Ram Mandir]] by the Congress leader [[Shashi Tharoor]] that it is offensive to the Hindus that hundreds of years of struggle to reclaim the Ram Temple land is trivialised as Tharoor termed that "Good [[Hindus]]" won't accept any temple built after levelling others' religious site. Lakhawat told reporters that the [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] members are making contradictory statements over Ram Mandir while "temple tourism" is being done by top Congress leaders.<ref>{{Cite web|author=sabguru|date=2018-10-17|title=bjp leader onkar singh Lakhawat asks congress to clarify stand on ram temple-शशि थरुर के बयान से हिन्दुओं की आस्था आहत : लखावत|url=https://www.sabguru.com/bjp-leader-onkar-singh-lakhawat-asks-congress-to-clarify-stand-on-ram-temple/|access-date=2021-10-10|website=Sabguru News|language=hi}}</ref>
