Rajasthan Culture
Rajasthan- the land of royalty is a glittering jewel set in the golden sands
of a barren deserts landscape. The light that reflects off the golden sands
engulfs a land renowned for its vibrant colors, people in bright clothes and
beautiful jewelry, living in cities dotted and dominated by towering forts and
palace that rise from the sands like mirage.
Rajasthan Music &
Dance
Rajasthan is culturally rich and has extensive tradition in art and culture,
which reflects Indian way life. The dance, music and art forms have been watchfully
cultivated and patronised by the erstwhile courts. An equally rich and varied
folk culture from villages is both fascinating & mesmerising.
Rajasthan Jewellery
In Rajasthan, men and women traditionally wore necklaces, armlets, anklets,
earings and rings. With the advent of the Mughal Empire, Rajasthan became a
major centre for production of the finest kind of jewellery. It was a true blend
of the Mughal with the Rajasthani craftsmanship.
