About Rajasthan |
 |
Rajasthan is the most colorful region in India exhibiting
splendor and royalty in every walk of life. It is
truly said "a land of valiance and chivalry ",
which is endowed with invincible forts, magnificent
palaces, waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. No
other region in the country assembles as many paradoxes
of India as does the desert land of Rajasthan.
Rajasthan is the north-western region of India, and
has remain independent from the great empires. Buddhism
failed to make substantial inroad here; the Mauryan
empire (321-184 BC), whose most renowned emperor,
Ashoka, Converted to Buddhism in 261 BC, had minimal
impact in Rajasthan, However, there are Buddhist caves
and Stupas (Buddhist Shrines) at Jhalawar, in Southern
Rajasthan. Ancient Hindu scriptural epics make reference
to sites in present-day Rajasthan. The Holy Pilgrimage
site of Pushkar is mentioned in both the Mahabharata
and Ramayana.
The Rajasthani's love for color and joyous celebrations,
music, dance and festivals makes it one of the most
colorful desert in the world. We have numerous fairs
and festivals of the region. In addition to the festivals
celebrated by the Hindus, Muslims and others, there
are also the traditional fairs.
The fall of the Gupta Empire, which held dominance
in northern India for nearly 300 years until the early
5th Century, was followed by a period of instability
as various local chieftains sought to gain supremacy.
Power rose and fell in northern India. Stability was
only restored with the emergence of the Gurjara Partiharas,
the earliest of the Rajput (from 'Rajputra', or Sons
of Princes) dynasties which were later to hold the
balance of power throughout Rajasthan.
Amazing legends of heroism and romance still resound
from its equally amazing architecture, that still
stands to narrate its tale of a bygone era. The magic
of Rajasthan is unequalled in the world for its heritage,
culture, safaris, sand dunes and lush green forests
with its wildlife. Rajasthan is often expressed as
huge open-air museum with relic so well preserved
for the travellers and the curious of the day. It
is action-packed with outdoors too; take a safari
on horses, camels, elephants or even jeeps with the
Aravalis - India's oldest mountain range in the backdrop,
or caress your eyes on the sloppy sand dunes, or trail
a tiger or just watch birds on wetland. Or you can
choose to pamper yourself in the lavish heritage properties.
Rajasthan has something for everyone, just choose
your activity.
