majestic havelis, made of lime and brick and decorated them by the best
of the frescoes on the facade as well as inside of the rooms. The best
of the masons and 'Chitera' or painters were employed to decorate these
buildings. Initially, the Chiteras practised dry and wet methods using
mineral and vegetable colours. Later on, around in 1860's they made
brighter and colorful paintings with the help of chemical colours. Some
merchants, the Mantries, Suranas & Kotharis got few rooms
painted in gold with extensive mirror work. The prosperity of churu
reached its zenith in 18th century when the atmosphere of peace and
security prevailed and the caravans passed through. Consequently, the
business of wool, silk, opium and spices flourished. The merchants moved
away to the British India and onwards to Calcutta and other business
centers in central India. They made a lot of money using their unique
business acumen and decided to raise the palatial houses for their
families in churu.

There
is yet another haveli whose creation does not lie in grand plans but a
small plan blown out of proportion. This haveli commonly known as 'Jahaz
Kothi' (jahaz literally meaning ship; but in Hindi airplanes are also
popularly referred by this term). The builder of this kothi, Malchand
Nagwan, wanted his home to be a little different so wished to build a
small air plane on his terrace, but the constructer being a great fan of
the man wanted big things for his big man so instead of modesty he
chose flamboynace- and today there hangs an airplane of the size of a
helicopter on this kothi! And thus the name'Jahaz Kothi', a kothi known
more by its design than by the name of its owners and builders. The
