Haveli of Girdarilal Sigtia

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:07:11

Walking north from the bus stand, take the first right and on the left-hand side at the next intersection is the Haveli of Girdarilal Sigtia. The paintings on the external walls have been destroyed, but the rooms retain some vibrant murals. A room in the northeast corner of the haveli shows Shiva (with the unusual addition of a moustache) with the Ganges flowing from his hair. Note the orange handprints on the outer courtyard wall; these are a custom peculiar to Shekhawati, signifying the birth of a male child.
