The representations of Ganesh in the province of Rajasthan are picture murals in the havelis, mansions belonging to the merchants of the higher rank, built in the 19th century and 20th century.
These houses are decked with wall paintings, including many themes often represented as the heroic Krishna, Ganesh with his parents or with his two wives, different gods (Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, Saraswati, the idol of the arts). We found other topics advisory by the modernism of these rich owners: European railway cars, etc.
A social group of traders, Marwari (the Marwar is a district of Rajasthan), based its monetary power, in current centuries, the caravan profession. They built large houses extraordinary havelis their native soil, Shekawati, north of Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan.
However, the professional necessities led them to settle in larger cities and more energetic as Calcutta and Bombay. Thus, the havelis were slowly isolated. Conservation and reinstatement of beautiful folk paintings occurs only in a very limited number of places, and most are undamaging and more each year.
For the most attractive visits, consider the villages of Fatehpur, Mahensar, Churu, Lakshmangarh, Nawalgarh, Ramgarh, Dundlod, Mandawa and Samod Samod Bissau Palace in town.
Marwaris seek the blessing of ganesh in all their ventures. Whenever, they pray, they do pray to Ganesha too. The lord ganesh is part and parcel of their religious life. All the family members do pray daily to Ganesh. They do keep regular offerings to Ganesha. The lord Ganesh has a special space in a marwari’s life.
