21-November-2012: After a nice breakfast of Rajasthan's famous Onion Kachori in a nearby shop and at 9:30AM took a share Auto to go into the town's Havelis area, near Podar gate. First saw the excellent 'renovated' Ramnath Goenka Haveli & Museum, then the nearby Dwarkanath Temple and finally the 'conserved' Morarka Haveli.
