Rajasthan

Tourist Centers

Rajasthan is a classic blend of beauty and historicity. Indeed, the state has so much going for it that it's difficult to decide where to start. The very images that it invokes are steeped in romance and beauty.

A line of patronizing camels silhouetted against a magnificent desert sunset. A blur of twirling color as a Rajasthani belle dances to hypnotic music. The handsome hawk-like face of, a Rajput man, fiercely mustached, nobly turbaned, reflects an arrogance and power that can be traced several centuries back.

In Rajasthan one will find the unyielding facade of a splendid fort or the delicate kiosks and balconies embellishing a palace wall. The bold, colorful sweep of a phat painting, depicting sword-bearing chieftains going off to battle, rainbow-hued dupattas, ghagras and cholis, twinkling with the light of a hundred tiny shiny mirrors. All of which add to the attractions of Rajasthan.
