In Rajasthan there are numerous palaces, forts, fortresses and a larger number of havelies. These palatial residences of the nobles were located in their villages and were occupied more than the palaces were.

The havelis are really not that big to be rated as palaces, and it will be too elaborate to be called ordinary palaces of residence. Over the years, there has been a gradul shifting by the owners to bigger cities and quite a few of these havelies have started withering with age.
This old world charm is apparent in the massive countryyards, the Zenana mahals with murals, the carved balconies and the mardana baithak where the nobles sat with visitors.
Intricately Carved and Frescoes
These havelis are intricately carved and frescoes are one important feature. Colored in various shades, the havelis look beautiful and quite conspicuous. Mirror work further adds to the charm of these places. Large corridors, pavilions and ceiling very much resemble that of the palaces. Multiple courtyards and fountains are typical of important ones.
Today many of the Havelis in Rajasthan India have been refurbished into the heritage hotels in Rajasthan where you can enjoy a royal retreat on your tour to Rajasthan. These Havelis have maintained their vintage charm and decor and recreates the medieval ambiance everywhere.
