Rajasthan Tourist AttractionsRajasthan is an ancient land with centuries of accumulated culture, tradition, history and mythology. This desert landscape was once a sea bed and the sand on the surface of the desert ripples as if in memory of the shimmery waters that once lay here. Even centuries ago man journeyed to its heartland and built civilizations that have left modern archaeologists confounded. Rajasthan was also India's first important link to Europe with trade caravans carrying all manner of exotic goods all the way to China passing through the Thar desert and beyond. Its kings were the Rajputs of the brave kshatriya clan, they built its towns and cities with great dedication and fought bravely to protect them. Their legacy still lives on in every facade of each beautiful palace and fort that stands proud in this land.Rajasthan's past is inextricably linked with its present, camels and cars co-exist on its streets, its forts, palaces, temples, mansions, step wells and memorials stand shoulder to shoulder with its more modern buildings, the handcrafting skills of its traditional craftsmen cater to international designer needs with as much skill as to the local bazaar. Its people still dress in their colourful traditional attire, lissome women with khol lined eyes and tall, wide shouldered men in turbans sport curving mustaches. Its gypsy troupes of tribal dancers and musicians are still patronized by the people and even though the royalty does not rule anymore it still exists and keeps the heritage bequeathed to it in mint condition. No wonder then that Rajasthan offers a visitor a plethora of fantasies to indulge in. This wonderful land of shifting sands and soulful minstrels will transport one to a long ago time of medieval magic and fairy tales. Rajasthan - The Land of Maharajas It was the Maharajas of Rajasthan who tamed this harsh land and culled exquisite kingdoms out of its desolate beauty. Amidst these desert jewels their legacy lives on. Camel Safari in The Thar Desert The best views of undulating sands, coming across remote villages, chance encounters with wandering minstrels, rare spottings of chinkara antelopes and the experience of sleeping under the sweeping star lit desert sky. The Only Brahma Temple In this land steeped in spirituality, lies the only abode of Brahma and the sole temple anywhere in the world that harbours and propitiates the deity. The Famous Golden Triangle The legendary triad of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra are cities which contain much of India's historical and architectural treasures. Dance and Music of Rajasthan Tribes and gypsy troupes have dedicated themselves to keeping the traditional dances and forms of music alive. Woven into the very tapestry of its shimmering culture, Rajasthan's art forms spellbind. Rich Culture of Rajasthan The courage and verve of the people who have tamed this inhospitable land is reflected well in their culture. Each day and season brings a new reason for celebration and its fairs and festivals are truly enthralling. Cuisines of Rajasthan The royal kitchens of Rajasthan have centuries of experience of making food fit for kings and these precious recipes have been handed down for generations. Though these foods have been fashioned by the limitations of the desert vegetation they are truly sumptuous and fascinating. Arts and Crafts of Rajasthan Almost as colourful as the state's tradition of festivals is its celebrations of arts. The master craftsmen were once patronised by the royalty and even aided and abetted in their mission to create aesthetic works of art. The traditional artforms have been handed down from generation to generation through the centuries and are as alive and ethereal as ever.
