India. Shekhawati region. In most of these towns are huge 19th century mansions (havelis) built by very rich merchants. They were painted all over, inside and out with a riot of amazing murals. Most today are abandoned, and many are falling apart, their owners having moved to big cities with their wealth and fortunes. A small few have been restored.

Kargil, Indian Kashmir. A Shia area, showing the Imam Khomeini Chowk. I cannot get upload function to operate at present so will place this old posting in this group for today. I hope everyone is coping well with the restrictions on freedom and the awful strain that Covid is placing on us all just now. Sending love and very best wishes from Australia. Have a fab Friday and a healthy, happy weekend.
