About Rajasthan:
Rajasthan offers almost everything to its visitors. From colorful traditions, vibrant costumes, beautiful handicrafts, bright festivals to hospitable people, Rajasthan has it all.
Rajasthan Popular Tourist Destination of India. Rajasthan attracts tourist for its historical forts, palaces, art and culture. Every third foreign tourist visiting India also travel to Rajasthan as it is part of the Golden Triangle for tourists visiting India. Rajasthani is the main spoken language although Hindi and English are used for official purpose.
Rajasthan once used to be a part of the world's oldest civilisation, thepre-historic Indus Valley Civilisation. Excavations at Kalibangan, a town in the Hanumangarh district, about 200 kms from Bikaner have revealed artifacts dating back to the ancient civilisation along with the discovery of ploughed fields, probably the world’s earliest ones.
In Hindu mythology, the state of Rajasthan has an importance all of its own. It is believed that Lord Ram of the Hindu epic Ramayana spent sometime in the jungles of Rajasthan during his 14 year long exile, as did the Pandavas from another Hindu magnum opus, the Mahabharata. The ancient city of Mandore, about 10 kms north of Jodhpur, is believed to have been the hometown of Mandodari, the chief wife of the demon king Ravana of Lanka, who was killed by Lord Ram.
The mystic Saraswati River, one of the main ancient rivers revered by the Hindus, is believed to have disappeared under the sands of the Thar Desert, due to the emergence of the Aravali range of mountains.
The Aravalis are the oldest mountain range in India, even older than the Himalayas.
The Thar Desert is the largest desert in India and the world’s 18th largest sub-tropical desert.
Rajasthan is explored in many ways. You can peer out through tinted glasses as your air-conditioned car or bus rolls past the villages and cities, you can take a ride on horseback to get a feel of a Maharaja’s hunt, you can get a little more adventurous and try the camel safari through the hot sand dunes of the Thar Desert.
Present day Rajasthan was formed on 30th March, 1949 after the merger of 22 kingdoms and principalities into a single geographic entity. Today, it is the largest state in India with Jaipur, the largest city as its capital.
The city of Jaipur was founded by the king Sawai Jai Singh II on 18th November 1727 and is arguably India’s first planned city as per the ancient Hindu doctrines of architecture, Vastu Shastra and Shilpa Shastra. It was planned by a Bengali architect and scholar Purohit Vidhyadhar Bhattacharya, whose descendents still live in the city.
Jaipur is also known as the Pink City on account of the pink color that was used to coat the buildings of the walled city, as a mark of respect for the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1876.
The sun city of Jodhpur is the second largest city of Rajasthan and is known as the BlueCity on account of the bright blue painted houses that surround the hill on which the formidable Mehrangarh fort is situated.
The Mehrangarhfort in Jodhpur has been the site for many Bollywood and Hollywood movies, the most famous being the Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight.
The city of lakes, Udaipur, is also known as the White City on account of the predominance of white-coloured structures in the city.
A preferred shooting location, Udaipur too is a favourite for Bollywood and Hollywood movies. The enchanting Lake Palace on Lake Pichola was immortalised as the lair of Octopussy, in the swashbuckling James Bond movie of the same name.
Rajasthan is home to some great UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Keoladeo Bird Sanctury (Bharatpur) and Jantar Mantar (Jaipur). Six forts - Kumbhalgarh Fort, Chittorgarh Fort, Ranthambore Fort, Amer Fort, Jaisalmer Fort and Gagaron Fort (Jhalawar) - are a recent addition to the existing list.
The walls of the virtually impregnable Kumbhalgarh Fort extend to 36 kms and are believed to be the second-longest continuous wall in the world after the Great Wall of China.
The ancient Jaisalmer Fort is unique in that it is still lived in. The fort is still the home to a large mass of population making it perhaps the only inhabited fort in the world.
Pokhran, a town in Jaisalmer, has a great place in modern Indian history. It was the site of India’s first nuclear test in 1974 as well as the second nuclear test in 1998.
For the believers of supernatural powers, there are many haunted abandoned ruins to explore in Rajasthan. The ghost village of Kuldhara, 18 kms from Jaisalmer, became deserted overnight one fateful night in 1825, and both this settlement and the cursed town of Bhangarh in Alwar district have achieved cult status.
