Shekhawati -- the “land of Shekha” – is a semi-desert region located in the northeastern Rajasthan. It lies between Bikaner, Jaipur and Delhi. The city was named in honor of Rao Shekhaji (1433-1488), a cousin of Jaipur’s Kachchawaha rulers. Rao declared his independence during 1471, and it was not until 1738 that Jaipur was able to regain its soveriegnty over the Shekhawats.
Despite being a semi-desert town, Shekhawati’s rich business persons live in mansions (also known as Havelis).
