The Rajasthan State enfolds in its lap a diverse
kaleidoscope of nature ranging from shimmering sands to rugged ranges to lovely
landscapes. It is this mystique of nature that enchanted the royal dynasties of
the bygone era who added a resplendent touch to the state by building some of
the most opulent palaces, formidable forts, ornamental gardens, exquisite
temples and colourful havelis - each and architectural masterpiece. From there
emerged some great tales of heroism and romance still echoing in the golden
landmarks that dot the entire state of Rajasthan.
You can experience the opulent lifestyle of the Maharajas
of yesteryears by staying in the Palace Hotels or Heritage Hotels - the former
royal residences that now offer impeccable services to tourists amidst a royal
ambience.
What fascinates the most in Rajasthan is the traditional
aura pervading the entire state. Be it the exuberant celebrations, rich art and
crafts, friendly folks or bustling bazaars, you will get a rich taste of
traditions here.
On your trip through the state, you will discover that
life is a celebration in Rajasthan. The spirit to rejoice every moment is
reflected in the gaily coloured costumes, chunky folk jewellery and the ever
bright smile of the people that brings alive even the drab desert landscape.
The state has its unique festivities interspersed
throughout the year, celebrating each season, each legend, each deity… and,
infact, each day. Almost every evening is spectacular sight with local dancers
swaying to the folk tunes against the back drop of the desert shimmering in the
moonlight.
Another reason to visit Rajasthan is its perfectly
preserved, rich craft heritage. The Rajasthan state is a treasure-trove of the
best in Indian handicrafts that attracts tourists from all over the world. You
can shop for fabulous fabrics in lovely prints, precious and semi precious
stones, Kundan and Minakari (enameling in gold and silver) jewellery,
embroidered leather shoes or 'juttis', blue pottery, miniature paintings,
carpets, blankets, beautiful trinkets… all unique to the state.
