You may have admired the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, meandered around the Met, and been tantalised by the Tate Modern. But nothing will leave you gaping, open-mouthed, like the outdoor art gallery that is Shekhawati. Tucked away in northern Rajasthan, this was once the cradle in which India's richest families prospered. They built the grandest havelis and decorated them with frescoes of jaw-dropping ideas and detail. The winds of fortune dispersed the Marwari diaspora across India, but their marvels remain mouldering away in Shekhawati, awaiting your discovery.
