Saraf, Poddar the list is impressive . The successful marwaris
ventured out to the ports of Bombay and Calcutta , prospered and
spent lavishly on beautifully painted havelis in the 18th and
19th centuries .The painters are as much at ease with Krishna and
the gopis as with the Wright brothers trying to fly their
machines. Shekhawati is not a town or a village, but a region
comprising Sikar and Jhunjhunu districts with a network of towns
Nawalgarh , Dhundlodh, Mandawa, Lachhmangarh , Fatehpur and Sikar
.

Pink, a colour which symbolizes hospitality in Rajput culture.
