Think
about Rajasthan and the picture of people
clad in brightly colored clothes, riding
camels through the ever-lasting stretches of
sand seem to invite you to the land of
Kings. A stay at any of the magnificent
forts and splendid palaces of the Maharajas
of the bygone centuries, now a part of the
India heritage will for sure turn you into a
prince or princess for a day. The royal
families of Rajasthan are world renowned for
their chivalry, tragedy and romance. The
rulers of the land have been exemplary in
their wars and the rains have been epitomes
of beauty. The painted wall and |
 |
| |
the
beautiful decorations of the houses leave
their own mark amidst the huge castles of
the rulers. It is the colors of the people
and their costumes that break the dullness
caused by the yellow sand and the cloudless
sky.

Over the sand dunes the variety of Rajasthan
carries on and with this are carried the
Camel Safaris in sand dunes. Right from the
precious gems used in jewelry to the block
prints on the cotton fabric Rajasthan offers
a range of ethnic items to the rest of the
world. Rajasthan holds the largest cattle
fair in the world and attracts people from
the globe to watch the |
 |
| |
procession of the
decorated camels and the elephants. The
female in Rajasthan enjoy the swings on the
trees to celebrate Teej and apply henna on
their palms and feet artistically to mark
the festival spirit. The arid landscape of
Rajasthan does not make its inhabitants
dull, buttermilk settles the parched throats
instead of water, which happens to be a
rarely found natural resource in this state
that is abundant in stone mines. |
