Poddar Havelis

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:12:12

Continue about 50m past the main Churu Gate, then turn left to reach a group of Poddar havelis . Popular motifs include soldiers, trains and three fish arranged in a circle (a design peculiar to Ramgarh). One haveli has a painting of women carrying water in pitchers, and there’s a novel portrayal of the Dhola Maru legend on the western wall of another: while Maru fires at the advancing assailants, Dhola nonchalantly smokes a hookah.
