Rajasthan is the desert state of India. An area of great beauty and contrast , it is the home of the valorous and colorful people - the rajputs, jats, and bishnois. It is also a land, which successfully combines the dazzling burning sands with simmering lake palaces. The hard rugged backdrop of shifting sand dunes has surprisingly inspired the imaginative creation of temples, forts and palaces of stunning artistry. It has also inspired color and pageantry as never before. One is simply transported back in time by a few centuries while travelling through this wonderful area of india. The Rajasthan nostalgia is sure to stay with one for a long time.
