India. Shekhawati region. In most of these towns are huge 19th century mansions (havelis) built by very rich merchants. They were painted all over, inside and out with a riot of amazing murals. Most today are abandoned, and many are falling apart, their owners having moved to big cities with their wealth and fortunes. A small few have been restored.
