The home of the valiant Rajputs known for their bravery
and chivalry, Rajasthan is said to have
been a region where human settlement dated back to the
early historical period. Land of a people who are brave
and chivalrous, is a land of superlatives-every thing
herein is breathtakingly beautiful, impressive and fascinating. The history
of Rajasthan goes back 5000 years and boasts
a heritage as rich as its landscape, from the grand palaces
and rugged forts to its tranquil and camel safaris to

all the country's similes and metaphors appear to have
come together. Rajasthan has a total area of 343,000
sq. km and the most striking feature of this land is
its division by the majestic Aravalli range which runs
from north east to south-west for about 688 km. Northwest
of the Aravallis are the Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Barmer and
Bikaner regions, it is the home of arid plains and the
shifting sand dunes of the great Thar Desert.
The other side of the hills is a land of rich in vegetation
- Aravalli .Sand dunes, wooded hills and amazing lakes,
palaces and rugged forts, men and women in colorful turbans
and skirts, bustling towns and quiet villages, camels,
elephants and tigers, harsh sunlight and the cool evening
breeze - are all there in abundance. But they form only
part of an intricate tapestry. Beneath the surface, expect
to find many contradictions. Rajasthan is among the richest
states in the country as far as the field of arts and
crafts is concerned. Stone, clay, leather, wood, ivory,
