Situated on the western part of India, Rajasthan has a mystical and timeless appeal that is the envy of the modern world. Several Rajput dynasties have left their impression on the landscape, creating what today must rank as one of the most stunning sightseeing destinations of the world. Here history legends, myth and folklore all combine together to make Rajasthan a place, which defies description.

It can be said with absolute certainty that Rajasthan is the most alluring and exotic among the Indian states. Predominantly a desert state, the terrain springs a lot of surprises. From Semi-tropical greenery of Ranthambore to the sandcastle city of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan is more than a destination; it is a state of mind.

Known as "Rajputana" in the British period, Rajasthan comprises many erstwhile princely states. These medieval feudal kingdoms have left a legacy of extravagant palaces, forts and intricately carved temples.

Most of Rajasthan's exiting cities come color-coded. Jaipur, the capital of the state, is the Pink City, Jodhpur the Blue City, Jaisalmer the Golden City, and, Udaipur, though hasn't gained a color tag yet, but it could be called the "White City".
