Mandawa

Photographer's Note

Another detail of the same haveli in Mandawa, a town situated in the Shekhawati region, in Rajasthan.
Mandawa was included in the old caravan route, this way attracting many traders. The fort and a large number of havelis (private mansions decorated with magnificent frescoes, which are common in this region)are still there today, as a testimony of the importance of the town during that period.
Taken early in the morning.

Anabela,
fico impressionado com a riqueza de detalhes da imagem. O fato do prédio encontrar-se com alguns detalhes danificados deixou a foto ainda mais bonita. Parabéns pela sua visão em registrar um tema tão rico e agradável de se ver.
Grande abraço.

Hello Ana,

By now you it is early in the morning on the day after Christmas in Evora, what the British would celebrate as "Boxing Day" (when the well-to-do gave boxed gifts to the staff). The details in this haveli is astounding, as you say frescoes, and not inlaid precious stones.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Ana
Its a gorgeous traditional architecture, a straight shot of the fascade which is very highly intricate and filled with bright colours. The detail and delicacy amaze me with almost a 3-d quality to it with the patterns and you have added creativity and come up with something splendid particularly good with the sun catching on the surface. Great shot and an interesting mix between the lines and shapes and patterns tones with all the glorious detail. Excellent work Ana, you haa done justice to this brilliant structure as featured here. Congrats
Best regards

Olá Ana,
I have visited Rajasthan many years ago but didn't make it to the Shekhawati region.
Unfortunately not, for lack of time.
These havelis look wonderful. The murals are very well preserved (or restored properly).
I love these arches and the so beautifully decorated windows.
You captured these details of the haveli in a excellent way.
My best wishes for a wonderful 2012,
Paul

Hello Ana,

A splendid shot! All the details of this façade are beautifully photographed. I especially like the overall warm tone of the image. The distribution of all the fenestrations, decorations, and their distribution are superbly presented. I consider this image as an intriguing portrait. The well-corrected perspective is very effective. TFS!

Have a very productive week, Ana
