Tryst with
tradition
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
