We have however chosen something very several(predicate) and rare for our DIP researchproject. W e all know that havelis are architectural monuments built by the rich merchants and traders to show off their wealth, and built by the wellto do families in the 17th and 18th century to nourish themselves from the extreme climatic conditions, in the locality known as Shekhawati.In the semi arid dessert regions of Shekhawati, the day would be boiling racy and the nights would be as cold as freezing ice.The land and its peopleThis region of Shekhawati lies roughly between Jaipur, Delhi and Bikaner in the state of Rajasthan. There is diminished of industrialization that takes place in this region and farming is poor. Some families block this region due to failure in financial gains, but they grant back to their birthplace either for retirement or to settle round again. Among the few of them that return are the Rajputs, the Shekhawats (whose ancestor gave its name to this land).The Shekhawati region, unlike most other parts of Rajasthan was never a single kingdom it remained a lo osely held conderation of feudal principalities.The Shekhawati land, is known for its frescos. What sets this region completely apart are the eye-striking beautifully made frescos.This part of the desert was once a part of Aryavat, the land of the Aryans who spread too a great extent to the Union part of our country.Aryans, were the community that composed their sacred texts, the oldest in the world, which are the VEDAS here. It would also be fire to know that archaeologists have found remains of sites modern-day with the Indus Valley civilization dating all the way back to two hundred BC.Our topic for this research project is Comparative train of architecture of Havelis and their impact on society today.This topic of the architecture of havelis has indeed interested us as a group and we would love to explore this aspect of Rajasthan.It has a massive huge number of ancient havelis situated in the region of Shekhawati, where we externalise to visit and study and carry out anan alysis of the varied havelisThe comparative study will be based on the architecture of the haveliThe interior (frescos, murals, paintings, inscriptionsThe exterior (sculptures, doorways, bhaitak -seating area, hathi pol-entrancesThe way it has been bring to passed (Muslim, Hindu , Brahmin, Rajput)If the Haveli has been constructed keeping in mind the Vaastu (which will not be the same for the havelis that are owned by a different casteIf the haveli has been constructed according to the climatic changesThe materials that were used to construct the havelisAccording to us, this topic has a lot to offer to us because to each one one of us in the group have been interested in the tiny minute details ofhavelis. Havelis do differ from one some other on a very huge scale even though they are not always thought of as the same kind.Where we plan to go, which havelis?We first plan to visit an area known as Fatehpur. This townspeople is well known for its really high quality of frescos. T he havelis we plan to study here areGopiram Jalam haveli.Nand lal Devra haveli.Jagannath Singhania haveli.Our next town of visit will be a region known as Nawalgarh. A town where one can witness a mix of Rajput and European architecture. The havelis we do wish to analyze in this region areRadheshyam Murarka haveli.Pannalal Mansingka haveli.This brings us to an interesting question, what exactly are Havelis?Haveli as a term used commonly has its named derived from a long traced back Arabic origin of the news show hawoleh heart partition.a related word hawaleh has a slightly different center which is all round or round about. Through the ages the word havelis has interpreteddifferent forms. Though for Persian it had the same meaning as the word hawaleh but with the mughals arriving the word havelis changed into being a partition to a meet of land (this is very similar to the word estate whcich is used in the English language).Since the beginning of the origin of the havelis its d efinition is only limited to the forcible characteristics which makes it inadequate. So far theclosest definition of the word haveli is given by the prince of Whales museum, Mumbai.A havelis generally means a mansion. But in totality, itsymbolizes generation who articulated their life style that includes architecture, customs and manners, of course arts, crafts and music. Thehavelis however are the official residences of umraos, princes, thakurs and others such as dhabhai, purohit and sethji who were given a specialstatus by the rana. Havelis has an official recognitionThe term HAVELI is an essentially north Indian concept, and the Persian term implies an enclosed space. The havelis were not just built for residential purposes. Their construction increased on a massive scale, because they were in a way known as objects of self-esteem, in a race to cause against each other. They got more lavish and they also borrowed elements of Indo-Saracenic architecture that was standing out amo ng the principal British settlements.Havelis in Rajasthan was primarily developed in sixteenth century to differentiate their life style from common people. The 2 blanket(a) classifications ofhavelis in Rajasthan were- Rajput havelis and Marwari havelis while the other havelis were mainly based on the caste and occupation. Accordinglythere were havelis of the Brahmin caste, Muslim havelis, and havelis of other Hindu sub castes. A basic identification of havelis in any medievaltown of Rajasthan is possible by identifying the original owner, his official status, architecture, paintings on the walls of the havelis, sculpturesinteriors, etc
