The Gulab Haveli, like many havelis in Mandawa, was built by wealthy merchants in the 19th century. These merchants, who prospered through trade, commissioned artists to decorate their homes with elaborate frescoes, showcasing their wealth and status. The Gulab Haveli is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Shekhawati region. Over time, many havelis fell into disrepair, but The Gulab Haveli has been meticulously restored to its former glory. It now serves as a heritage hotel, preserving the region's artistic legacy for future generations and offering visitors a chance to experience the grandeur of a bygone era.
