Hira Lal Sarawgi Haveli

Rajasthan


To the southwest of Bala Qila Fort, this haveli (traditional, ornately decorated residence) is famous for its different representations of cars. Other entertaining pictures on its external walls include an English couple sitting stiffly on a bench, a tractor with a tip-tray – an exciting new invention at the time – and a woman trying to distract a sadhu (holy man) with an erotic dance.
