The Incredible State of India

History

The North Western frontier region of India that incorporated the beautiful state of Rajasthan remained independent and free from the great empires trying to consolidate their strong hold in this part of the subcontinent in the early periods. Even the great Mauryan Kingdom had little impact on the state's political environment during that times. According to the ancient scriptures, there is mention of Rajasthan especially Puskar in Mahabharata and the Ramayana.

Fair & Festivals

Rajasthan has one of the most colorful and vibrant deserts in the world. The great Thar Desert has much to offer through a plethora of celebrations. Festivals and fairs, music and dance, are a part of life in the State as well as in the desert. The year long festive fervour and cattle marts turn into delightful fairs. Festivals hold an unusual lure for the Rajasthanis and they have any number of reasons to celebrate. 

Art & Crafts

Accommodation in this mysterious state is not at all a problem. Travellers can put for the night at the grand palace hotels or push in at a heritage hotel in the country side. Available also are rest houses, tents, village huts, only the choice has to be taken at will.

Music & Dance
