Destination Rajasthan
The architectural heritage of Rajasthan is very inviting for a visitor. The majestic forts, intricately carved havelis and temples (mansion) and the step wells make Rajasthan a paradise for an architecture lover. This desert state of India,is a land of extremes and irony. This vibrant land is the home of the Rajput warrior clans who had ruled the place for several years. The Rajputs were prolific builders and are known for the legacy of some most magnificent forts and palaces in the world. The structures stand tall to tell the story of gallantry, courage and tragedy of the bygone era and also its story of survival in the harsh Thar Desert. Often quoted as the Land of Princes and Maharajas, is well known for its cooking which is inclined to the war-like lifestyle of the medieval Rajasthan and the availability of ingredients of the region. Scarcity of water, fresh green vegetables is visible on cooking.
In the desert belt of Jaisalmer, Barmer and Bikaner, cooks use minimum water and prefer to use more milk, buttermilk and clarified butter. A very distinct feature of the Maheshwari cooking is the abundant use of mango powder, a suitable substitute for tomatoes which is scarce in the desert. A combination with asafoetida is used to enhance the taste in the absence of garlic and onions. The cities of tourist attraction are Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Mount Abu, Bikaner, Bundi, Ranthambor, Ajmer-Pushkar and Ghana Birds Sanctuary.
