No introduction is needed for Rajasthan. It is a colorful, vibrant and grandeur state in India which is on most travelers wish list. Rajasthan is all about the Maharajahs and their rich culture, royal attire, authentic cuisine, magnificent forts, lavish palaces and fabulous stories of their life and family.
