History
The Singhania Haveli, like many others in Fatehpur, was constructed in the 19th century by wealthy Marwari merchants. These merchants, who prospered through trade and commerce, built these elaborate mansions as symbols of their success and status. The havelis served not only as residences but also as centers for business and social gatherings. The frescoes that adorn the walls were commissioned to showcase the family's wealth and to provide a visual representation of their values and beliefs. Over time, with the decline of traditional trade routes and the migration of merchants to larger cities, many havelis fell into disrepair. However, efforts are now underway to preserve and restore these architectural gems, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the artistic legacy of the Shekhawati region.
