Heritage Rajasthan SplendorRajasthan is one destination of
India that doesn't require an introduction. Being a desert state doesn't
mean that Rajasthan's colour is just sandy, its colourful heritage and
cultural variations bring out a multihued rainbow that can intrigue any
first time traveller to this state. Just like the culture, this state of
the great Thar Desert has got its own charm when it comes to heritage
monuments of Rajasthan.

Western Rajasthan itself forms a convenient circuit, in the heart of the desert land, which has shaped its history, lifestyles and architecture and among the must visit monuments of Rajasthan are the heritage havelis of Jaisalmer.
