To the east of the Aravallis, Rajasthan is Cotton Country where peacocks dance in celebration of rain. Kipling must have been thinking of Rajasthan when he labeled India the 'land of camels and snake charmers'. Even today, Rajasthan retains its medieval charm with the sounds of desert music wafting from the distant sands and mounds of red chilies drying in courtyards ready to be pounded.

CAPITAL OF RAJASTHAN :

Jaipur, the capital, is pretty in pink. Vegetable marts, jewellery shops, camel-riding locals make it a busy and crowded metropolis.

History of Rajasthan : Archaeological and historical evidence shows a continuous human habitation of the area dating back 100,000 years. Between the 7th and the 11th century AD, several dynasties arose, with Rajput strength reaching its peak at the beginning of the 16th century. Emperor Akbar brought the Rajput states into the Mughal Empire; by early 19th century, they allied with the Marathas. Later, the British established supremacy in the region. Rajasthan soon emerged as a centre of Indian nationalism. When the new constitution went into effect in 1950, Rajput princes surrendered their powers to the Indian Union.

The Rajasthani People: There is majesty in every man of Rajasthan; they are afterall the sons of kings. Rajasthan is a harsh, scorched land of savage summer heat but also full of the brightest colours. Countering the barren landscape with vibrant hues in their everyday wear and charming murals painted on their drab sepia-coloured mud homes, for the people, life is one big carnival, even in the face of sure death. Here are many tales of desperate courage written of men donning saffron robes and riding out to confront the enemy and womenfolk preferring death to dishonour. Even in everyday life today, the Rajput's sense of honour, family and tradition come foremost.

Culture in Rajasthan : Rajasthan has made its contribution to Indian art; there is a rich literary tradition, especially of bardic poetry. Chand Bardai's poem on Prithvi Raj Raso or 'Chand Raisa', the earliest manuscript of which dates to the 12th century, is particularly notable. A popular source of entertainment is the 'khyal', a dance drama composed in verse with festive, historical, or romantic themes. The typical folk dance of Rajasthan is the 'ghoomar', which is performed on festive occasions only by women. The 'geer' dance (performed by men and women), the 'panihari' (a graceful dance for women), and the 'kacchi ghori' (in which male dancers ride dummy horses) are also popular.

Festivals of Rajasthan : 
Desert Festival in Jaisalmer and Nagaur Fair in February; Pushkar Fair in November; Elephant Festival in Jaipur in March are popular events. The 18-day Gangaur festival is the most popular festival for girls, especially married women. Urs in May in Ajmer; Teej or the Swing Festival in August; Marwar Music Festival in October and Shilpgram Crafts Fair in December are among other major festivals of Rajasthan..
