Why Rajasthan The most colorful region
in India . An exotic land of valiance and chivalry. A land endowed with invincible
forts, magnificent palaces and waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. The State
represents an unusual diversity in all its forms-people, Rajasthani culture, customs,
costumes, cuisine, dialects and music.
No other region in the country assembles
the many paradoxes of India as does the desert land of Rajasthan. Unexpected forest
glens, lakes and temples appear like mirages in the deserts. On the crag are seen
rugged forts, testimony to a turbulent history.
Innumerable temples dating
back to the 7th century still survive amidst scattered ruins, medieval cities
exist around turreted marble palaces and spacious gardens.
Rajasthan, a
land of princes, palaces and preening peacocks is renowned for its monuments,
art and culture that go back to several centuries. Admire a range of miniature
paintings and frescoes of exquisite refinement. There is romance in Rajasthani's
forts and palaces and arts of gallantry retold in ballads and legends.
Then
there are sanctuaries sheltering rich and varied species of flora and fauna. And
the shimmering Thar desert belt charms with a rare and amazing sight. Rajasthani's
are a handsome people with colorful costumes. They express themselves in color
and sound not easily seen or heard anywhere else in the country.
Rajasthan
overwhelms with colour found in bustling bazaars; in wide ranging costumes of
its people; in streets where elephants and camels vie with buses and cars. The
irresistible gamut of art and handicraft souvenirs will bewitch you. An exciting
variety of Rajasthani delicacies will pamper your palate with a never-before gastronomic
delight.
Traveling too is a rewarding experience in Rajasthan. For it is organized
on the lines of superlative standards. Modern air and train services, deluxe
