Old Havelis at Nangal Sirohi (Mohindergarh)

Village Nangal Sirohi lies between Mohindergarh and Narnaul. It may appear like another ordinary Haryana village at first look but if you get a chance to explore this village closely, you will be amazed to see the beautiful old residences (havelis) and their equally more beautiful paintings.

I too have passed through this village many a times but i still remember how surprised i was when i first noticed  a familliar face on an old painting on a building alongside the road. It was the picture of an old man with grey beards and i am pretty sure that it was of our first nobel laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. I was not expecting to see his painting other than on some government offices or on schools, which too is very rare in case of Tagore. Not far from this building on the left side (if you are coming from Mohindergarh), you will see another old building, decorated with the drawings of cavalries on both sides of its gate. I have taken some pictures of this haveli and also came to know that there are much more magnificent havelis in this village, which i will try to cover on my next visit (along with the painting of Tagore).

This Haveli is more than 80 years old. It appears that the cavalry on left side is showing British officers while cavalry on right side shows native army officers.
