About Rajasthan Rajasthan is an amazing potpourri of the old and new. Rajasthan, literally meaning the Land of Kings, displays

lavish forts and majestic palaces that are apt reminders of a rich and romantic past; one that speaks of heroism, honour and chivalry.

Situated amidst a stark desert and surrounded by the Aravallis, India's oldest mountain range, the state is a travellers' destination, attracting many with its art and craft.

A glittering jewel of India, Rajasthan has something for everyone, whether you are planning an adventurous holiday hoping for a rendezvous with tigers, or have in mind a quiet sojourn gazing at the beauty of the golden sand-dunes, or are travelling to experience the many nuances of royalty.

History and politics Rajasthan has played an important role in the making of Indian history,

its civilisation and its culture. Initially a collection of several princely states, collectively known as

Rajputana, Rajasthan came into greater prominence during the period of decline and disintegration of the Gupta Empire

The Rajput kingdoms faced severe Muslim attacks at different stages of their evolution.

The people of Rajasthan still sing songs and tell tales of courageous heroes like the legendary Prithvi Raj Chauhan, and Rana Pratap of Mewar who defied the mighty Mughal Emperor Akbar.

By 1950, the 18 states of united Rajasthan merged to form one state. The Maharaja of Jaipur, Sawai Man Singh II, was made the Rajpramukh and Jaipur became its capital.

Today, Rajasthan has 33 districts that cover an area of 3,42,239 sq km.

Geography and Climate The Aravalli Range runs across the state from the

southwest to the northeast. This divides the state into a sandy and unproductive

region northwest of the range, and a comparatively fertile and habitable land towards the east.

The Great Indian TharDesert is found in Rajasthan. The Chambal River, which is the only large and perennial river in the state, originates from the east of this range and flows northeast.
