 Shekhawati
is simply beautiful. Every street, house
and wall has the stamp of an artist's imagination
in paint. Wherever you cast an eye, frescoes
smile back. The plethora of these murals
comes rather as a surprise in a land which
is traditionally known as an 'impoverished
corner of an arid land'. But then the whole
of Rajasthan, which is partly sandy and
partly rugged and blessed only in a few
places with a lake or a patch of green,
is an exercise in color. Color which is
the everyday life of the people. Color which
the people live in to counter that of the
semi-arid scrub. Color that people give
to their surroundings… You just have
to visit Shekhawati to believe what a riot
color and imagination can create together,
the Shekhawati which is Rajasthan's very
own Open Air Art Gallery.
