Heritage Rajasthan Splendor


Rajasthan 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.

Rajasthan's history involves a collection of princely kingdoms where feudal traditions still carry on amidst their grand forts and palace hotels. The northwest part of Rajasthan wasn’t a desert at the pre-historic times and tourists and archeologists can witness the affluence of the Harappan civilisation at Kalibanga, near Bikaner. 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.

Famous Heritage Splendor of Rajasthan includes
