City Information
Within the region in India known as Rajasthan lies Shekhavati. This is the region of the painted havelis (mansions) of the Marwaris, the trading community of Rajsthan who from 1820 onwards migrated to the ports of Calcutta and Bombay, amassed huge fortunes, and even today controls virtually every sector of the modern Indian economy. The Piramal Haveli in Bagar is Shekhavati's closest hotel to Delhi - and among its grandest havelis. It was built in 1928 with a large open garden and two pillared courtyards painted with colourful kitsch frescoes. These add a special charm to this mansion reflecting the British presence in Jaipur since 1803. The region of Shekhavati where The Piramal Haveli is located was made into an independent kingdom in 1471 by Rao Shekha (1433-1488), till 1738, when it reverted back to the Jaipur State. The Haveli has traditional courtyards enclosed by colonial pillared corridors. Frescoes of flying angels and gods in motorcars adorn the walls.
