Chowk Haveli
 Another
cluster of havelies which attracts the onlooker is the
cluster of Daga chowk havelies. There are a number of
havelies in Daga Chowk. A salient feature of these
havelies is the fact that they are scattered like the
scattered clouds. They are adorned with carvings of
flowers. The rose is there with its freshness. The lotus
flowers are there with their charm, Other flowers are
there with their leaves. The walls are all flowery and
take the viewer in a world of nature and its infinite
spelendours. The carvings on Jharokhas are simply
artistic to say the least. They are exquisite. They look
like projected pieces of priceless jewelry. They take
the viewer to a cocktail of architectural excellence.
Daga family had a fascination for Deevankhanas. The
Deevankhanas or drawing rooms gave prestige to the
family. They were decorated with taste and were their
show cases. They were a treasury of art and a matter of
their pride. They preserved valuable murals also. They
exhibited old and contemporary faces of Indian painting.
They also demonstrate the increasing English influence. |
