History
Rajasthan is where all the country's similes and metaphors appear
to have come together. Sand dunes, wooded hills and amazing lakes,
palaces and rugged forts, men and women in colorful turbans and skirts,
bustling towns and quiet villages, camels, elephants and tigers, harsh
sunlight and the cool evening breeze - are all there in abundance.
But they form only part of an intricate tapestry. Beneath the surface,
expect to find many contradictions. Where ever you travel, particularly
when you escape from the popular tourist destinations you will come
across the unexpected, whether it is a local fair or breathtaking
view.
The mood and the rhythm of the country side changes from one region
to another, and from season to season. It is a land of surprises;
it is a land of amazing natural beauty that can fascinate even the
most seasoned traveller.
The history of Rajasthan goes back 5000 years and boasts a heritage
as rich as its landscape, from the grand palaces and rugged forts
to its tranquil and camel safaris to trekking. Those looking for
taste of royal lifestyle just need to check into one of the several
palace hotels or heritage hotels that will make it possible for
them to be treated like royal guests.
Whether you are visiting Rajasthan's big cities with a fast-moving
westernised lifestyle, or exploring historic towns or quaint villages,
you will always find the people warm and friendly. And if you want
to move away from the regular tourist beat, it is very easy to organise
your own tour.
Accommodation could be a palace hotel, a smaller heritage hotel
in the country, a guesthouse, a tent or a village hut- the choice
is yours. But whatever you choose, you holiday in Rajasthan will
be an unforgettable experience and we hope this publication will
help you make the most of your time here. Rajasthan has a superb
range of shops, catering to every taste and pocket.
It is among the richest states in the country as far as handicrafts
are concerned. The craftsmen here have been creating the most opulent
and richest of treasure. Stone, clay, leather, wood ivory, lac,
glass, brass, silver, gold and textiles are given the most brilliant
forms.
Each little village had its own mohulla of craftsmen who were patronised
by the local people as well as visitors to the village. Today, the
Government encourages the local handicrafts as well as the small-scale
industries and retail outlets have been set up in the major cities.
Tourists can choose from the large variety on display, and at very
reasonable prices.
