Shimmering sunsets on endless sand dunes; warm earth, turbaned men, and elaborately bejewelled women, a kaleidoscope of colours, ancient palaces and havelis, legends of valour, loyalty and forbidden love. Rajasthan is the seat of royal Indian opulence. Rooted in age-old culture and tradition, this state has grown to become one of the most popular holiday destinations for travellers from all over the world.

It’s a wellspring of festivals, of music and dance, of elaborate camel races, of exquisite arts and crafts, and of mystic charm. From the architectural splendor of Jaipur and Jaisalmer, to the magnificent Brahma temple in Pushkar, to the densely forested Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan offers its visitors a glimpse of India at its richest, and most varied.
