 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.
