Morarka Haveli Museum, which is a landmark in Nawalgarh, is located in Naya Bazar, and was built in 1900 A.D. by Shri Jairam Dasji Morarka – a connoisseur and patron of the arts. The Haveli depicts the varied motifs prevalent at theat time through the medium of wall paintings. Even after a century the ferscoes are preserved in a good condition. The Haveli is open to public, upon the wishes and efforts of the present owner and descendent – Shri Kamal Morarka.
