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 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. Tourism is Rajasthan's
Life Blood.
