CULTURE AND ARCHITECTURE OF
HARYANA
Haryana is mainly an agricultural land, laid with very good network of canals and
Yamuna being the major river that passes through the state. Women of the family
also work alongside men in the fields. After the work is done, the rural menfolk enjoy
sitting together and sharing their daily routines over hukka, in the verandah of the
house. The verandah is also used by women for spreading and drying crops and by
children for playing. Besides all the other festivals common to the rest of the country.
Wall paintings depicting historical, mythological and social scenes are an important
feature of the traditional architecture of Haryana and can be found in almost all the
monuments, forts, havelis, temples, wells and chhatris of the state.
The chaukband house (a house with a central courtyard) of Gurgaon, is equipped to
deal with climate like this. In these dwellings, thick brick walls (400-500 mm) with a
high-density thermal mass serve as an ideal heatbalancing device; a central
courtyard provides and controls daylight and regulates the movement of air inside
the house; a roof with a wooden beam structure gives adequate insulation from
direct solar radiation; and pucca burnt bricks - by virtue of their porous quality - help
in balancing humidity during monsoons. Ventilators (Jaali), windows and ducts
exhaust the hot air.
Vernacular dwelling incorporates an acceptable architectural language drawn from
various vernacular design aspects, including, architectural forms, styles, traditions,
elements, materials and climate at the site. The form of a building is evolved from its
functions and the architectural characteristics are defined by their work culture. The
planned modern dwelling, on the other hand, is defined by the economic status of
the user.
