The towns of Jhunjhunu, Fatehpur and Nawalgarh in the Shekhawati belt boast of some very elegant havelis that can be dated back to anywhere between the 18th and 20th centuries.
As part of your Shekhawati mansion tours, you will come across many interesting havelis that adorn this otherwise barren region. Built by the wealthy merchants of the region, the havelis of Shekhawati are sure to dazzle the eyes of any visitor. Decorated with delightfully painted frescoes, the havelis are visited by hundreds of enthusiasts every day. Moreover, the frescoes are based on some interesting historical and mythological themes.
Many of the havelis of Shekhawati come with intricately carved wooden gates. Most of the gates lead to small but well-designed courtyards that open into larger courtyards. Delightful paintings adorn the outer walls of the havelis. Visitors can also feast their eyes on intricately done gold and silver leaf work in some of the havelis they visit.
Some of the havelis you can visit during your Shekhawati mansion tours include the Anandilal Poddar Haveli, Aath Haveli, Shyonarayan Kyal Haveli and the Rathi Family Haveli. It must also be noted that many havelis of Shekhawati are privately owned and hence not available for public viewing.
