Land of people, who are brave and chivalrous,
people with warlike lifestyle around whom grew the most amazing
legends of romance and heroism. Everything here is breathtakingly
beautiful, impressive and fascinating. It is packed with history,
arts and culture.
Rajasthan has a total area of 343000 sq. km, which is divided
by Aravalli range, which runs from north -east to southwest
for about 688 km. It is the backbone of the state and divides
it into two regions with totally different geographical features.
Water levels here are very low and have been so for many centuries.
Yet this land with it's relentless carpet of sand and arid desert,
the dryness and the heat of this region has driven the people
to fill their lives with different colours.
Geologically many areas in Rajasthan are older than the Himalayas
therefore it is obvious that the civilization came to Rajasthan
much before it came to India. It was in the mid of the sixth
century that the brave Rajputs, warrior par excellence, came
to dominate the region and wrote the most glorious chapters
in the history of Rajasthan with their blood and blade.
It this period in the history of Rajasthan that continues to
live on in the proud inhabitants of this region and gives it
a special charm of its own, unmatched by any other place, any
where in the world. |
