 Architecture
The mixture and
brilliance of
Rajasthan's
architectural
heritage can amaze a
visitor. Majestic
forts, intricately
carved temples and
havelis (meaning
mansion) and even
step well make
Rajasthan a paradise
for an architecture
buff. The desert
state of Rajasthan
is a land of irony
and extremes. This
vibrant and striking
region is the home
of the Rajput
warrior clans who
had ruled here for
many years.
Rajasthan is also
home to some of
India's most
romantic cities. The
Rajputs were
prolific builders
and have dotted the
arid Aravali
landscape with their
legacy of some most
imposing and
magnificent forts
and palaces in the
world. Today the
structures defy time
to tell the story of
gallantry, courage
and tragedy of the
bygone era and its
story of survival in
the harsh Thar
Desert.
