Come, experience Rajasthan! A land drenched in hues and
history. A magical sojourn reverberating with age-old culture
and tradition.
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 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. |
