Bagar is the region of the painted havelis (mansions) of the Marwaris, the trading community of Rajasthan who, from 1820 onwards, migrated to the ports of Calcutta and Bombay, amassed huge fortunes, and controlled (and control) virtually every sector of the modern Indian economy. It was made into an independent kingdom in 1471 by Rao Shekha (1433-1488), and remained one until 1738, when it reverted back to the Jaipur State.
The Piramal Haveli in Bagar, Shekhavati, was the home of Seth Piramal Chaturbhuj Makharia (1892-1958) whose fortune was made in Bombay, trading cotton, opium, silver and other commodities.
