- A documentary exploration of the under-appreciated Indian architectural treasures: The painted havelis (courtyard mansions) of Rajasthan. These jewel-like marvels are as unique to India as the Taj Mahal, yet are currently being neglected. We learn about the work done by the marvelous people to save these buildings and bring them forward to the 21st century. Starting with our exploration of the Mukunda Haveli of Tales in Mukundgarh, we examine the rich tradition of these buildings, commissioned by the Marwari merchant families from the 1850s to the 1950s. We learn how and why they were built, how they fell into disrepair, and the heroic efforts of a few people to rebuild and conserve these precious buildings.
