Tryst with tradition

A view of temples near Kesar Talab.The magnificent havelis of Barwaa, 25 km south of Hisar, are its most attractive feature. Over two dozen havelis, many of them two-storeyed and exhibiting traditional architecture, were built by the Mahajans of the village in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A tour of these grand havelis reminds one of the old glorious days when the prosperous Mahajan community did flourishing business on the old trading route between Delhi and the big towns of Churu, Sikar and Jhujhunu via Bhiwani and Hisar,  says Ranbir Singh
