Known as the world’s largest open air art gallery, Shekhawati with picturesque dunes, colourful Havelis and Aravallis running through is a region in the vast semi-desert countryside of Rajasthan covering the districts of Sikar, Churu and Jhunjhunu.

The fine art that is displayed on the Havelis or mansions of Rajasthan leaves every visitor dumbfounded. This art form was patronized by families, some of whom still continue to be India’s leading merchants and bankers. This region has been the cradle of many of the greatest industrial houses of India which include Birla, Modi, Mittal, Bajaj, Dalmia, Piramal, Jhunjhunwala, Sanghi, Somani, Goenka, Poddar, Murarka, Aggarwal, Singhania and many more. A walk through the towns and villages of Shekhawati is no less an experience than a walk through the famed portals of any great museums anywhere in the world.
