Once inside this state, you are likely to find out on your
own that this state known as Rajasthan was once the land of brave, chivalrous
and proud kings, who were prepared to sacrifice their comforts for the sake of
their independence and proud traditions. The bards and minstrels, roaming
across the state still sing melodious ballads to their long lost glory, while
the common people sustain these wandering minstrels, as if they are a part of
their own family. Not only these bards, the magnificent forts and palaces
scattered around in all corners and remote hillocks have the same story to
relate, but here you do not have to visualize anything on your own, as the
sheer regal splendor of these monuments and the lifestyle portrayed is awe
inspiring. Whether you visit, the Amber City Palace at Jaipur, or the Umaid
Bhawan Palace at Jodhpur, or the City Palace and Fateh Prakash Palace at
Udaipur, the opulence everywhere is mind boggling, but nowhere do you feel that
the erstwhile subjects in these kingdoms were ever subjected to any sort of
cruel subjugation, exploitation or oppression, which could ever make the people
revolt against their kings. Everywhere, you find a hint of nostalgia for the
long lost glory, or a continued love and adoration for many of the still extant
royal families.
Leaving the royalty aside, you shall find that Rajasthan is
the only state in India, which does have a full scale desert covering a major
part of the state. Deserts typically provide arid climates and bleak scenarios,
with nothing moving except the shifting sand dunes; however, here in Rajasthan,
if you care to visit Pushkar, you shall be flabbergasted to find the desolate
desert in its most vibrant, colorful best. As a matter of fact, the word
colorful can almost be used as a synonym for this state, keeping in view the
colorful attire of its women, colorful headgear of its denizens, or the
colorful ornamentation of its camels.
One may take this introduction just as a snippet, as
Rajasthan has much, much more to offer, which shall require tomes to describe. There are various tours in India for Rajasthan available. Ask assistance on any tour of India from your nearest tour operator to make your journey safe and comfortable.
