Rajasthan

Where regal charm meets rustic traditions

Most people visit the desert state of Rajasthan for its imperial heritage; beautiful palaces, historic forts, regal havelis or mansions. Rajasthan’s desert tribes tell another story; of the people who built the grand, regal structures, who immortalized battle stories in song and dance, who told stories of the ancient feudal lords, and who sustained the fiefdoms of old. Listen to the narratives of Rajasthan’s folk, both regal and rustic in their songs, dances and dramas, to understand their ways of life and the traditions that they have carried into the present.
