RAJASTHAN: THE LAND OF THE KINGS

RAJASTHAN : THE LAND OF THE KINGS

The city of Udaipur in Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the land of the kings, is India at its exotic and colourful best. It is the home of the Rajputs, a group of warrior clans who have controlled this part of India for 1000 years according to a code of chivalry and honour akin to that followed by medieval Europe's knights. No one visits Rajasthan without taking home superb memories. That state is my homeland. And in the south of the state is Udaipur, the city of ethereal beauty and magnetic attraction for tourists all over the world. In fact the world famous scholar Arnold Toynbee had opined that Udaipur was one of the most romantic places in the world.

Hawamahal in Jaipur, Rajasthan

Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and is remarkable for its architectural harmony and is popularly known as the" pink city" because of the pink colour of its buildings. Its careful planning and foundation was done by the great warrior-astronomer maharaja Jai Singh in 1727. The Hawamahal is a world famous building and the temperature is remarkably low inside even in the height of summers and this has been accomplished naturally by designing the building
