Rajasthan - An Exotic Land of Valiance And Chivalry
The most colorful region in India . 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, 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
Rajasthan'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. Rajasthanis 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 coaches and chauffeur-driven
cars transport you quickly and comfortably to every
wonder-packed corner of the state.
Rajasthan with a treasure of history, picturesque
architecture and bewitching landscape is an unparalleled
destination on the tourist map of India. A destination that
defies definition.
