Sprawled over Nawalgarh, Jhunjhunu, Mandawa, Sikar and Churu, Shekhawati in Rajasthan is a marvelous open-air art gallery strewn with brilliant architectural treasures constructed by rich Marwari merchants in the medieval era.
Consolidated under the rule of Rao Shekha, the Shekhawati region in Rajasthan has a history that is both interesting and happening. Dotted with mansions painted in hues of maroon, indigo, pink and blue, Shekhawati is the perfect destination for setting out on heritage tours.
The most interesting feature about the havelis of Shekhawati is the fact that almost all of them have been constructed within an enclosed wall. With a central courtyard and lavishly carved rooms all around, the medieval Shekhawati mansions are a historians delight.
Apart from the lavish interiors, most havelis feature outer walls etched with delicately carved figures painted in bright colors.
