Chokhani Double Haveli
चोखानी डबल हवेली
Twin mansions jointly built by two brothers in the 1910s in a mirror-image layout, with relatively well-preserved murals and the courtyard arrangement of a traditional merchant household.
The Chokhani Double Haveli was jointly built in the early 20th century by the Chokhani brothers. The two houses are symmetrical, share a central structure, and each has an inner and an outer courtyard, making it a good example of how Marwari merchant families lived. The walls are painted with scenes from the Ramayana and the stories of Krishna, along with floral decoration, and the colors are relatively bright. Parts of the house are still lived in or looked after by caretakers, and a small fee is charged to enter. It is in the southern part of the old town, about a 5-minute walk from the fort.
