People in Rajasthan

Rajasthanis are a handsome people with colorful costumes. They express themselves in color and sound not easily seen or heard anywhere else in the country. Rajasthan overwhelms with color found in bustling bazaars, in wide ranging costumes of its people, in streets where elephants and camels vie with buses and cars. The irresistible gamut of art and handicraft souvenirs will bewitch you. An exciting variety of rajasthani delicacies will pamper your palate with a never-before gastronomic delight.So rich is the history of the land that every roadside village has its own tales of valour and sacrifice, the winds sing them and the sands shift to spread them. Rajasthan is spicy, but then, what is life after all without little bit of spice, Rajasthan provides abundant scope to explore it.
