Some of the havelis have been converted into heritage hotels while some
others have been turned into local schools. The region is a veritable
treasure-trove of wall paintings. The main entrance is usually a carved
wooden gate leading into a courtyard which, in turn, leads to a second
courtyard. The windows are exquisitely latticed and carved. The facades,
gateways, courtyard walls, parapets and ceilings are covered with frescos
that present a stunning sight.
