Mahaveer Prasad
Goenka haveli built is 1885 is believed to have some of the best
frescos in perfect match of colour and design. The haveli maybe
mostly locked and may take several visits to be able to see it.
Geori Shankar Haveli is a good example of mirrored mosaic
ceiling. Haveli Nadine is a haveli purchased by a French
artist Nadine Le Prince. It retains some good painting is shades
predominantly in red and blue. The artist is energetically restoring
the painting and for the time being visitors is not allowed. The
Choudaharia Haveli though in an extreme state of deteriorations
has a rare departure of an erotic painting. The Jagannath
Singhania Haveli has some fine paintings of Radha and Krishna
and shows some British men holding guns. The others havelis, which
are notable are Harkishan Das Saraogi Haveli and
Vishnunath Keria Haveli.
