About Rajasthan
For many, Rajasthan is the very essence of India, with crenelated forts and impregnable palaces that rise like giant fairy-tale sets above dusty sun-scorched plains and shimmering lakes. India's second-largest state -- similar in size to France -- is largely covered by the ever-encroaching Thar Desert, but despite its aridity, Rajasthan was once remarkably prosperous: Traders from as far afield as Persia and China had to cross its dry plains to reach the southern ports of Gujarat, something the warrior princes of Rajasthan were quick to capitalize on. Today the principal attraction of Rajasthan -- the post-independence name for Rajputana, literally "land of princes" -- is the large variety of forts and palaces its aristocrats built throughout the centuries, making it one of the most popular destinations in India.
