Rajasthan
is a land where the vagaries of nature have settled to co-exit
with the good cheer of its people . The architectural grandeur
of royalty and the tales of valour and chivalry are the essence
of its very spirit .The mountainous Aravalis and Vindhyas on the
one hand and the dearest landscape on the other form a contrast
which blends perfectly with the history of Rajasthan . Rajasthan
is a land of living colour.
Rajasthan is a destination that enchants the visitors with every
little discovery that is made , because the more one discovers,
the more is the urge to stay on or come back. For Rajasthan Thar
is peopled by a proud race where the dull landscape bursts into
brilliant Kodachrome hues: Multi- coloured clothes, jewellery
that begins from the toes and anklets and mounts upwards from
waist to hands to face and forehead. The men sport turbans and
luxuriant moustaches that they carry with aplomb, and rings for
their ears. The important cities include the capital Jaipur, Jaisalmer
& Jodhpur. In this land of colours and pageantry, come for
your next incentive. The women are attired in swaying skirts and
lights as breeze mantles and armfuls of bangles, and for the people
of different communities, and from different parts of the desert
region, wear their clothes, jewellery and turbans differently.
For generation, over centuries, fairs were events of social interaction,
a place to meet, to nurse and rebuild old ties, to forge new relations,
to buy and to sell and because they were a generous people, they
came in their festive best to celebrate the bounties of god and
nature. A drive anywhere in Rajasthan will be punctuated by a
fort on a distant ridge or a pavillion next to a seasonal pool.
