MADRI HAVELI
A bit of history…
Madri Haveli is part of a long history of more than 300 years. Haveli is the term used for a private mansion in India with historical and architectural significance. The word is derived from the Persian word hawli, meaning “an enclosed place”. In the region of Rajasthan, the havelis were status symbols for the Marwaris as well as homes for their extended families, providing security and comfort in seclusion from the outside world. They usually contain a courtyard with a fountain in the centre and two to three stories high.
Madri Haveli originally belonged to Maharana Swarrop Singhji. This property was gifed by Maharana Swaroop Singhji to Maharaj Zorawar Singhji Madri.
On death of Maharaj Zorawar Singhji, his son Maharaja Ajit Singhji inherited the same.
