Rajasthan is a land where the vagaries of nature have
settled to co-exit with the good cheer of its people
.The architectural grandeur of royalty and the tales
of valour and chivalry are the essence of its very spirit
.The mountainous Aravalis and Vindhyas on the one hand
and the dearest landscape on the other form a contrast
which blends perfectly with the history of Rajasthan
. Rajasthan is a land of living colour.
Rajasthan is a destination that enchants the visitors
with every little discovery that is made , because the
more one discovers, the more is the urge to stay on
or come back. For Rajasthan Thar is peopled by a proud
race where the dull landscape bursts into brilliant
Kodachrome hues: Multi- coloured clothes, jewellery
that begins from the toes and anklets and mounts upwards
from waist to hands to face and forehead. The men sport
turbans and luxuriant moustaches that they carry with
aplomb, and rings for their ears. The important cities
include the capital Jaipur, Jaisalmer & Jodhpur.
In this land of colours and pageantry, come for your
next incentive. The women are attired in swaying skirts
and lights as breeze mantles and armfuls of bangles,
and for the people of different communities, and from
different parts of the desert region, wear their clothes,
jewellery and turbans differently.
For generation , over centuries, fairs were events of
social interaction, a place to meet, to nurse and rebuild
old ties, to forge new relations, to buy and to sell
and because they were a generous people, they came in
their festive best to celebrate the bounties of god
and nature. A drive anywhere in Rajasthan will be punctuated
by a fort on a distant ridge or a pavillion next to
a seasonal pool. |
