********ABOUT SHEKHAWATI**********
Shekhawati is an interesting area of towns almost in the middle of the triangle of Jaipur, Delhi, and Bikaner. This semi desert region is a colourful fantasy having a fascination uniquely of its own. ’The open art gallery’ is famous for its overabundance of painted havelis, all commendable pieces of the rich artistic tradition of this region. Shekhawati is the region where the streets are lined with havelis painted in the nature of a vast open air art gallery.
‘Shekhawati’ meaning ‘the land of Shekha’s clan’ derived its name from Rao Shekha(1433 A.D –1488 A.D) a scion of the kachhwaha family of Jaipur. About origin of word Shekhawati, there's an alternative view expressed by Hakim Yusuf Jhunjhunuvi. He says that Shekhawati derives its name form a Persian word "Sheekh" which means sand deposited on the coastal area of sea". This implies that this area has been inundated with seawater long back and converted to sand dunes over a period of thousands of years. The presence of shells, conches etc found in the stone forms in the desert is a clear evidence that this was a sea earlier.
******* ARCHITECTURAL STYLES************
Shekhawati’s magnificent havelis mansions entirely changed the monochromatic appearance of the region. These havelis display a unique architectural style that evolve around the courtyards to ensure safety and privacy of the women folk and protection from the heat of the long and harsh summers. The havelis of Shekhawati painted predominantly in blue, maroon, yellow, green and indigo, are not just huge, rather they are a beauty to adore. The havelis, popularly have a carved wooden gateway as the main entrance that opens into a courtyard. This courtyard again leads to another courtyard. Larger havelis are double storeyed and have upto four courtyards. The windows of these havelis are richly carved and glow with exquisite mirror work. These latticed windows were the means by which the Rajasthani women viewed the happenings of the outer world.
The havelis are guarded at the entrance by large wooden doors. Within these, a smaller door is normally used for daily movements. Intricate wooden carvings with fancy brass iron fittings demonstrating the owners wealth. The ground floor is normally recessed in such a way that balconies overhang the street. It was from the latticed windows on the balconies and over the courtyards that women were able to get a glimpse of the mens world. The facade, the gateways, the courtyard walls, the parapets and ceilings, were all covered with frescoes.
Almost all the havelis in the area are famous for the beautifully designed, carved, and painted interiors. Fatehpur in fact is an important constituent of the Shekhawati region in Rajasthan which is often called “The Open Air Art Gallery”.
