Rajasthan still retains a fairy tale character. Rajasthan means the 'Land of Kings", where opulent palaces and forts dot the desert landscape and battle scarred monuments appear on every hilltop like sentinels of the past. Here folk culture retains all its colour and vivacity with exuberant celebrations of fairs and festivals, with music that echoes across the desert emptiness and a tradition of craftsmanship. It is a true experience.
