Rajasthan - A Fecund Desert
Take a sea that has sand instead of water and dunes in place of dolphins.
You have camels rather boats or cruises to ferry you across that sand
carpet. The tapestry of burning sand in the long summers with large tracts
of dune decked plains is none the else than Rajasthan''. It was to
this arid land that man travelled extensively for trade. Now a melange of
colours and medley of cultural fête, Rajasthan shares a close
semblance with vibrancy and vigour. The city of Rajputs, havelis, forts,
turbans and moustaches is a hallmark of Indian Heritage and legacy.
The Making of Rajasthan
Once a halt of the West Asian traders, the desert sand matured to offer the
Rajputs rulers a shade and refuge, and thusly finding their swayer. Colours
sprang from the deserts and magnificence from the heaven only to see castles
of exuberance built on the earth in land of Rajputs- The Rajasthan. The
Kings and their sons came to power once more. Beautiful citadels echoed with
slashes of swords, and splendid temples, elaborate wells soon saw an uprise
in the city of daunt and dare. Celebrated for their valor on the field
Rajasthan, people of Rajasthan were also known for their sensitivity. No
wonder, Rajasthan is also known for arts and crafts across the board.
Rajasthan -A La Carte
An unmistakable paradise to settle for a vacation, the state shelters a
uniqueness of appeal with a fresh charm every time you see it. Replete with

dusty streets and bazaars, waiting patiently at traffic lights in Jaipur, or
silhouetted against the sunset on the sand and dunes.
