From Sam sand dunes to the pristine
clear lakes of Udaipur, from arid barrenness of the backdrop to the
brightly colored costumes of the performers and the dancers, the Desert
State of India, Rajasthan is a land of great diversity and contrast. A
tourist's paradise, in short, Rajasthan has everything to offer.
Rajasthan has been a place of
interest to both the archeologists and the geologists. Kalibanga and
Akal Wood Fossil Park are two such places that attracts them most.
Rajasthan is well known all over
the world for its hand-printed textiles, furniture, leatherwork,
jewellery, painting, pottery and metal craft. The use of lively
colors and flamboyant, fantasy designs is distinctive in all forms
of arts and crafts of Rajasthan.
Broadly speaking, Rajasthan has
a tropical desert climate. It is extremely cold from October to
February while the scorching sun tortures the land from March to
September.
Rajasthan is colorful because of
what its people wear. The dull-colored monotone of the sands and
hills look cheery with the vibrant spirits of the people who wear
bright colors to make up for the absence of blossoming flowers.
Its land of varieties of grains
comprising of wheat, maize, millets, corn, a few pulses, beans and
lentils grow, it is amazing to see such an exotic cuisine that has
originated in the state of Rajasthan.
After all the impression of the
barrenness of a desert region, it is almost surprising to see the
blossoming flowers in the vast landscaped gardens full of divine
fragrance and cool breeze that looks like a mirage for an instance.
There are number of beautiful
and picturesque lakes in Rajasthan. Most of them are man-made and
serve as the drinking water supply of the civilization.
Museums are the surest way of
gaining a clear and detailed understanding of the rich culture,
traditions, arts, history, crafts and other notable features typical
to a region.
The scorching heat of the sun
shining right above the hands, vast tracts of land with just sand
all around with an occasion interruption of rippling sand dunes.
Rajasthan is home to a diverse
range of animal and bird life such as tigers, leopards, deers,
rhesus monkeys, pythons and water-birds that come here in winters.
