Painted Havelis of Navalgarh

Nawalgarh is in the Shekawati region outside of Jaipur.  We learned about the history and architecture of the Havelis, beautifully painted mansions (primarily 19th century) of the merchant class.




Our guide then took us through the Navalgarh market where we ate incredible samosas, broken up and served in a delicious sauce. We bought some of the local tie-died scarves and some cool, handmade lacquer bangles.
