About Rajisthan Highlights

From: Wanderlusts (Subscribe to this user)

Rajasthan is a harsh desert land chocked full of fairy tail kingdoms. The Rajputs controlled this part of India for over 1000 years and entrenched themselves in gigantic fortresses and built magnificent palaces. Today, most Rajasthanis live a very hard life in the harsh drought prone desert. Despite the drab surroundings, the people are the most colorfully dressed in India. Festivals in Rajasthan are also a time of color as well as dance and music. Histories of the Rajputs are remembered through traditional song, dance, and puppetry. Even camels, horses, and elephants are bedecked in ornate garb with mirror work and beads. There is a code of hospitality among the desert people and although they have very little they are very generous to share with each other as well as the occasional visitor.
