Piramal Haveli

Introduction : The gorgeous Piramal Haveli located near the Shekhawati Bazar is a haveli designed in colonial architectural grandeur. The haveli was built by Seth Piramal Chaturbhuj Makharia who was a wealthy merchant. The haveli is conspicuous by its columned passage way and courtyards which are adorned with outlandish mural paintings of gods and goddesses of the Hindu Pantheon. The hotel is managed by the famous art restorer Francis Wacziarg in association with the Neemrana group of hotels. The hotel's architecture is a harmonious bend of Edwardian and traditional Rajputana artistic style.

Accommodation : The Piramal Haveli has eight well appointed guestrooms which are tastefully decorated with traditional Shekhawati art and period furniture. The fabrics used are traditional Shekhawati and each room exudes with a distinct Shekawati aura. The rooms are clustered around a beautiful courtyard which is adorned with colorful frescoes. There is a spacious drawing room "baithak" which is designed like an authentic Rajasthani sitting room.

Dinning : The best of the local Marwari food is served at the hotel's in house restaurant. The traditional Marwari cuisine is an out and out vegetarian fare with clever mix of spice and chilly. Meals are served on Thali basis which is an all encompassing meal with rice, chappatis, dal, a range of vegetarian curries, Yoghurt and sweets. Every now and then the hotel arranges for sand dune dinners. But there is a catch. A minimum of 8 guests have to be present. The chefs are all hand picked by the hotel's management and each one of them are thoroughly trained and they do a marvelous job catering to the taste buds of the hotel's discerning guests.

Recreation : Shekawati is particularly famous for its abandoned and uninhabited havelis, mansions, monuments and forts. It is a region where you find dusty bazaars and hamlets interspersed between sand dunes. The hotel encourages sight seeing in and around Shekhawati. Within the haveli, there are provisions for various indoor games, like carom, chess, cards and even musical chairs. For the philosopher in you, there is the well-stocked library.
