THE
PIRAMAL HAVELI
Code
No- AT-RJ28
This
was the home of Seth Piramal Chaturbhuj Makharia (1892-1958)
whose fortune was made in Bombay, trading in cotton, opium,
silver and other commodities.
Built
in the Rajasthani-colonial style of the 1920's, The Piramal
Haveli is an 8-room'non-hotel.' It is 250 kms. from Delhi and
100 kms. from Neemrana and is run by the same management. Here,
the famed traditional vegetarian cuisine of the Marwaris is
served in thalis. Dinners on the sand dunes can also
be arranged at a prior notice, for a minimum of 8 guests.
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 motor cars adorn the walls.
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 Rajasthan who from 1820 onwards migrated
to the ports of Calcutta and Bombay, amassed huge fortunes,
and even today control 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
colorful kitsch frescoes of flying angels and gods in motor
cars. These add a special charm to this mansion reflecting the
British presence in Jaipur since 1803.
The
Directors of Neemrana Hotels, Aman Nath and Francis Wacziarg,
extensively traveled and photographed the region of Shekhavati
from 1977 to 1982. Their pioneering book led to the discovery
of what they called `an open-air art gallery'. The book
led to the opening of this region to tourism.
