The Land of massive forts, grand palaces, bustling bazars, endless desert
sands, dense forest, teaming wildlife and birdlife. A land that is rich

intrigue & enchant... all aptly sum up the enchantment called Rajasthan.
Rajasthan, the land of the Kings, in India at its exotic and colourful
best with its bettle-scarred forts, its palaces of breathtaking grandeur
and whimsical charm, its riotous colours and even its romantic sense of
pride and honour. The state is diagonally divided into the hilly and
rugged south-eastern region and the barren north-western Thar desert,
which extends across the border into Pakistan.Rajasthan…. The golden
glow of desert landscape, the shimmering emerald water surrounding the
medieval lakes, grand palaces, bustling bazaars, endless desert sands,
teeming wild & bird life are as much a part of Rajasthan. As the ships
of the desert who sail majestically amidst the tranquility, colour and
warmth all around.Rajasthan is the second largest state of India and is
one of the few states that show a great contrast from one area to
another. This disparity is noticeable in respect of climate, soil,
vegetation, mineral resources etc. The land that revives age old legends
of brave Hadi Rani of the beautiful Padmini of Chittaurgarh, the pious
Mira Bai, and the love stories of Dholamaru and Moomal – Mahendra of
Marwar. Rajasthan, the land of prince and princess has the most amazing
legends of devotion, romance and heroism. It offers the visitors: both
quite moments of relaxation and adventure in the desert state. |
