About Rajasthan


Endowed with a natural beauty and a great history, Rajasthan is the mystical land where one would find the palaces of Jaipur, the lakes of Udaipur, and desert forts of Jaisalmer. The rich cultural heritage and the essence of this land is depicted in films like Jewel in the Crown, The Jungle Book, Far Pavilions, Octopussy, Autobiography of a Princess to name a few.

Rajasthan includes most of the erstwhile region called Rajputana (land of the Rajputs) which was comprised of Rajput kingdoms. "Rajput" literally means "son of a king". Rajput families rose to prominence in the 6th century CE, establishing kingdoms in Rajputana and accross India.
