Rajasthan: Live life, king size

INDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK[ TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 01:11:17 PM ]

Rajasthan, literally translated as the land of kings and princes, is the ultimate confluence of history, chivalry, romance, natural beauty and colour. 

Located on the northeast borders of India, Rajasthan stretches out into the Thar Desert.

It is the land of colourful people and attire, which narrate amazing legends of heroism and romance. Legends, which still resound from its equally amazing architecture standing erect, a witness to a glorious bygone era.

The once impregnable sand coloured forts, perched on rocky hills, still tell the story of the bravery of its men, the stoic sacrifice of women and the chivalrous old world manners of all.

The magic of Rajasthan is unparalleled in the world for its heritage, culture, safaris, sand dunes and lush green forests with its wildlife.

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.

Take part in the vibrant dances with swords and swirling skirts, with lamps and horses. Indulge yourself in shopping: buy exclusive craft of mirror work embroidery, metal and leather craft, exalt the beautiful miniature and pichwai paintings or taste the distinct cuisine.

Rajasthan has something for everyone, just choose your activity. Live like a prince in the land of kings & princes.
