Goenka Havelis Attractions
Many of the paintings depict Lord Krishna’s pastimes- his flirtations with the gopinis, his romance with Radha, are some of the most commonly seen.
The main highlight of the Mahaveer Prasad Goenka Haveli in fatehpur Rajasthan is the painted ceiling in an upstairs room, which is quite often locked and therefore not easily accessible for travelers.
Again, like most havelis in Shekhawati, the Goenka Haveli Fatehpur opens with a massive carved wooden gate. The gate opens into an outer courtyard. This outer courtyard then leads to a smaller inner courtyard.
