History
The Chokhani Haveli, like many havelis in the Shekhawati region, was built by wealthy merchants in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These merchants, who prospered through trade, commissioned the construction of these elaborate mansions to showcase their wealth and status. The Chokhani family, prominent traders of the time, constructed this haveli, filling it with exquisite frescoes that reflected their interests and the social milieu of the period. The paintings served not only as decoration but also as a form of storytelling, depicting religious narratives, historical figures, and scenes from daily life. Over time, many havelis fell into disrepair, but Chokhani Haveli has been well-preserved, offering visitors a chance to experience the grandeur and artistic brilliance of Shekhawati's merchant past.
