2.1 Rajasthan – The Incredible State of India Rajasthan, The jewel in India’s crown. The realm of former Maharajas and their lavish palaces and majestic forts. The land is steeped in a past filled to the brim with honour, chivalry and heroism to colourful festivals and wildlife encounters. Golden-sand deserts, traditional handicrafts, authentic cuisine with a treasure-trove of ancient lore, music, dance, ballads, fables. Almost every city in Rajasthan is coded with a specific colour. Jaipur is Pink, Jodhpur is Blue, Jhalawar is Purple, and Udaipur is white. This is India at its vibrant best and all contribute to making Rajasthan an ideal vacation spot. Second largest border sharing with Pakistan that offers diversity in culture. It covers 11 per cent of the country’s area of 3,42,239 sq. kilometres, with a population of 56.5 million. Rajasthan has more history than the entire country put together stretching from the prehistoric Old Stone Age where the State geography and environment played a significant role in determining settlement patterns and locations of towns and cities. Forts in Rajasthan offer boundless views of the panoramic landscape, and the two most important forts in Rajasthan are the Amber Fort in Jaipur and the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur. The Amber Fort is a perfect amalgamation of Hindu and Mughal architecture. The ancient stronghold of the Kacchawa Clan built out of white marble and red sandstone. The fort is surrounded with Maota Lake which offers crystal clear reflections of the entire fort adding to the charm of this age-old monument. Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh Fort is one of the largest forts in India, and towers above the entire city. Situated atop a steep cliff, the fort is still in pretty good shape and houses a museum which displays various artefacts and objects belonging to the ancient royal family. Another famous Rajasthani fort is the Jaisalmer Fort which is entirely made from sandstone, the fort literally shines brightly from a distance, lending it its name of Sonar Quila (meaning Golden Fort). 10 2.1
Rajasthan also has a significant number of palaces that are of historical significance, the Umaid Bhawan Palace, the Jaipur City Palace, Udai Bilas Palace, Udaipur and there are many more. These palaces, their architecture, and their old walls tell stories of the glorious past of the state. Some of the palaces are so grand and royal that they’ve been converted into heritage hotels so that tourists can get to experience the lifestyle of the royals. Treasure trove of Indian handicrafts. Rajasthan is the largest producer of handicraft items in India reflecting the rich culture of a culturally diverse state which offers several local handicraft items retaining the state’s unique identity. The vibrant coloured and patterned crafts of the state are used to adorn interiors of the living spaces. Whereas there are other crafts that produce useful products of daily use, garments, accessories and miscellaneous items. One can find many temples are dotting almost the entire region. One of its kind Brahma Temple in Pushkar and Karni Mata Temple in Bikaner, the exquisite Dilwara Jain Temple of Mount Abu and Ranakpur Temple along with Eklingji of Udaipur are the finest examples of Rajput temple architecture reflecting the religious beliefs. Amongst the variety of Rajasthani handicraft and handlooms, includes, Jewellery - silver, kundan and meenakari, Textile, Handmade Paper, Precious and Semi-Precious Stones -gemstone, Paintings, Leathercraft, Marble Handicrafts, handcrafted items - wood, ivory, lac, glass, brass, silver and gold and much more. Rajasthan is also a palatable wildlife destination to explore a unique ecosystem with diverse yet rare flora and fauna species. Rajasthan is home to a decent number of tigers and birds. Ranthambore National Park, Keoladeo, Sariska and Desert National are considered best when it comes to rich and diverse wildlife. “Rajasthan is The Land of Brave, welcoming and extremely talented people, Exceptional Tales, Exotic Architecture, Vibrant Culture and Warm Hospitality” 2.2 (Fig 2.1) A view of Jodhpur city from Mehrangarh Fort.
