Unplanned trips are the best trips ever. Road trip, on RE 350 in the early morning of Jan 2018 took us to our roots.
Never knew this small town in the state of Rajasthan will show us such hidden gems of Shekhawati region. The old havelis, fresco wall paintings, temples, glorious Rajputana architecture and the rich merchants of the olden days were the highlight.
The need of the hour is to preserve these precious heritage havelis. And to create an opportunity of income generation for the locals. As once upon a time, Churu was known to be the land of rich merchants in the entire Shekhawati belt.
