PLANNING OF HAVELI
|
The planning of the Morarka Haveli was mainly conceived around
two broad concepts- the First and major was the Social and the
second was the Climatic factor.
Social Context
The presence of ‘Parda’ system in the Rajput family and the
customs of Shekhawati resulted in an introvert house. The
courtyard planning because the only solutions to in-house the
women folk of the family creating the separation in the male
(Outer court termed as ‘Mardana’) and female (Inner court termed
as ‘Zenana’) members of the family. The third broadly defined
area of the Haveli was ‘Nora’, or the service-yard.
Climate Context
From the climatic point of view, one should surely applaud the
designers of Shekhawati Havelis. Climatic factors also have the
governing rule in the planning concepts of Shekhawati havelis as
it forms the main source of the natural light and ventilation in
the house.
