About Churu Havelis
Churu was founded in 1620 and its Marwari merchants built as hard as anywhere in Shekhawati, but it gets a fraction of the visitors. The six-storey Surana Haveli is said to have over a thousand windows. Malji ka Kamra, a 1920s mansion covered in stucco figures, has been restored as a hotel and is the place to start. The Kothari and Bagla havelis are painted in the classic style. Winter nights here are the coldest in Rajasthan.
What to see and do
- Surana Haveli, the Hawa Mahal of Churu
- Malji ka Kamra and its stucco figures
- Kanhaiyalal Bagla and Kothari havelis
- Old town lanes and fort remains
