The Shekhawati Region of northern Rajasthan grew wealthy through historic trade, leaving towns filled with extraordinary painted havelis. Many facades and courtyards preserve frescoes ranging from traditional mythology to surprisingly modern imagery.
Experiencing the region
Private walking tours reveal the detail easily missed from the road and explain the merchant families, artistic traditions and changing fortunes behind the buildings.
Planning your stay
Shekhawati works well between Delhi and deeper Rajasthan, particularly for travellers interested in architecture, photography and places that sit outside the state’s busiest circuit.
