RAJASTHAN - the land of massive forts, sprawling palaces and intricately
carved temples ofcolourful tribes and brave warriors, of unrivalledform of arts
and crafts, unique dance and music traditions, is changing at rapid pace.
Its vast network of Museums in large and small towns, archaeological sites and
the recently opened museums and art galleries in the palaces of erstwhile rulers
of old states help to preserve this great heritage for posterity.
The land is endowed with invincible forts, magnificent palace havelis, rich
culture and heritage, beauty and natural resources. It is a land rich in music,
Dance, Art & Craft and Adventure, a land that never ceases to intrigue &
enchant.
There are many beautiful meadows, dense forests, crystal lakes, waterfalls and
rivulets meandering through the countryside. One of the oldest mountain ranges
of the world, the Aravallis, extending from north-east to south-west have some
beautiful forest areas.
Rajasthan, men and women traditionally wore necklaces, armlets, anklets, earrings
and rings. With the advent of the Mughal Empire, Rajasthan became a major centre
for production of the finest kind of jewellery.
Paintings of the legendary lovers like Dhola-Maru on camelback, hunting scenes
which included innumerable horses and elephants dominate the paintings of the
Marwar region.
Like Camel and Horse safaris, another popular form is the jeep safari. The jeep
safari not only refreshes and revitalises but one feels close to nature while
driving through the quiet and beautiful countryside.
