and quiet villages, camels, elephants and tigers, harsh sunlight and the cool
evening breeze - are all there in abundance.

life, the legends of its heroism and romance are all captured in the vibrant and
evocative music of this desert land.
It has something for almost
every kind of traveler, revealing a vast range of arts and crafts, which is a
treat for the visuals and are ready to be picked. The Bazaars spill with products
and there is a magnificent glow of colours all over.
