Rajasthan - Where The Land Is Known By Its People

Embraced by the majestic Aravalli mountain ranges and drenched by the Indira Gandi Canal, Rajasthan is the land of legendary Rajput rulers, whose tales of chivalry, fidelity and romance have been woven into ballads and folklore. Welcome to Rajasthan, the land of shifting sand dunes, where people have imbibed the tricks of nature into their life so perfectly, that it, ostensibly, has changed its course. Like the geographical variation of the terrain, the culture of Rajasthan is a wide spectrum of brilliant hues fostered by steps of settlers ranging from ancient Indus Valley urbanites to pastoral Aryan herdsmen, Bhil forest dwellers, Jain merchants, Muslim artisans, and the Rajput warrior clans. Despite a prevalance of apparent poverty among the desert people, they stitch a bond of colourful, happy and proud community with their own way of gregariousness and jubilee. Take a Rajasthan tour to see the culture and lifestyle of the Rajasthani people.

Welcome to the land of conviviality, where elegance is a way of being. A land where the dawn unfolds with a tint of spirituality in Surya Pranam (respect to Sun) and evenings are garnished with layers of merryment. Come to experience the Rajput traditions and culture that the naivete clined in their lifestyles, who serve milk or buttermilk more because of scarcity of water than respect to the visitors. The custom of touching feet of the elders to show respect, which is usually reciprocated with a lovely embrace - stones of love that ultimately make the golden bridge between humans.
