This video is based on my trip to Morarka Haveli Nawalgarh and mainly I have discussed about the Antique Collection kept inside the haveli. Kamal Morarka Haveli Museum is known to be a great example of architectural beauty. Nawalgarh is better known as the home to a number of Marwari families who are said to be richer than the kings and have built these beautiful Havelies for their families. Full of intricate paintings as well as frescoes, this beautiful Morarka Haveli attracts huge number of tourists throughout the year. The main entrance of this Haveli looks so impressive that you can’t take your eyes off it. The Haveli, today, actually serves as a museum as it displays a lot of old paintings on different themes such as gods and goddesses, birds and animals, and floral patterns and also a lot of antique items.
Nawalgarh is a heritage city in Jhunjhunu district of Indian state of Rajasthan. It is part of the Shekhawati region and is midway between Jhunjhunu and Sikar. It is 31.5 km from Sikar and 39.2 km from Jhunjhunu. Nawalgarh is famous for its fresco and havelis and considered as Golden City of Rajasthan. It is also the motherland of some great business families of India .
Thakur Nawal Singh Ji Bahadur (Shekhawat) founded the Nawalgarh city in the year 1737 AD at the village site of Rohili, and his descendants rules were known to be there till abolition of Jagirs in Rajasthan. A lot of great business families of Marwari community such as Mansingka, Padias, Birlas, Goenka, Jiwrajka, Khaitan, Nemani, Dharnidharka, Somani, Chhawchharia, Ganeriwala, Murarka, Poddar, Seksaria are known to have their origins from Nawalgarh. Nawalgarh was known to be a tazimi thikana of Bhojraj Ji Ka sept of Shekhawat in Shekhawati. Nawalgarh was surrounded by the high Parkota (walls) which consisted of four Pols (gates) in various directions, namely Agoona Darwaja, Bawadi Darwaja (in north), Mandi Darwaja and Nansa Darwaja. Every gate had iron doors. Bala Kila Fort is located in the center of the Thikana, and Fatehgarh Fort is located outside the Parkota as an Outpost. The market place of the Nawalgarh town and layout of the havelis indicate that the actual city was well-planned even before construction. Nawalgarh was known to be the most modern towns of Shekhawati. The Rulers of Nawalgarh actually belong to the Shekhawat sub-clan (Bhojraj Ji Ka September) of Kachwaha Dynasty of the earlier Jaipur Princely State.
