Named after Rao Shekha, one of the popular Rajput chieftains of that
era, Shekhawati is best known for its painted havelis. In fact, Shekhawati

the world. These include images of various Hindu gods and goddesses,

The Marwaris have played a huge role in the development and promotion
of Shekhawati as a tourist hub. Having settled here from various corners
of the country, the Marwaris now dominate the Indian economy.
There are quite a few other influential households that hail from this
region of Rajasthan. In short, Shekhawati can be termed as the 'hub
of the rich and famous' industrialists in India.
