Havelis are located in the older Part of the village called Nichla Baas (Downside resident), built by local trading communities in 18th ,19th and 20th century.

In one of the Haveli, there are paintings depicting Shekhawati Sirdaars, while in the vault of the other Haveli there are scenes from the Ramayana and Hindu gods.
