Havelis of Rajasthan
Rajasthan is the place that gives a feeling of prosperity, of royal and refined culture and a grand style of living. The cities and towns of the state were once small kingdoms ruled by several clans of Rajput rulers. The royal families possessed great wealth and used to live a very luxurious life. Much of it is reflected in the popular palaces constructed in many of the cities. Apart from that the richest community, which usually included the royal families and that of the wealthy tradesmen, used to dwell in grand mansions. It is these mansions we know as the Havelis of Rajasthan.
The construction of Haveli is more or less like a palace. Some typical features of the havelis found at large in the state of Rajasthan are - havelis are built as grand mansions featuring courtyards. The number of courtyards vary according to the wealth of the person who built it. These havelis are intricately carved and frescoes are one important feature. Colored in various shades, the havelis look beautiful and quite conspicuous. Mirror work further adds to the charm of these places. Large corridors, pavilions and ceiling very much resemble that of the palaces. Multiple courtyards and fountains are typical of important ones.
Though built in many cities but a majority of the havelis are located in the cities of Jaisalmer and Shekhawati. These havelis are great tourist attractions and thus frequently visited places. One doesn't need to be an architect or any professional to assess the worth of these structures. Their beauty is par excellence and gives a good idea of interior decoration.
