Travel Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the Land of the Kings, is Indias most colour-charged state. Like a legend come to life, the state is packed with Magical towns and cities: Jodhpur, sky-blur;

Jaipur, painted dusky pink; Jaisalmer, a golden sandcastle; Udaipur, shimmering bone-white; and Pushkar, clinging around its holy lake. This diverse state is home to

the Rajputs, warrior clans claimed to originate from the sun, moon and fire, who have controlled Rajasthan of India for more than 10000 years. The whimsical,

magnificent palaces and forts are products of the Rajputs in Rajasthan. The state is diagonally divided into the hilly southeastern region and the barren north-western

Thar Desert, which extends across the border in Pakistan.

Rajasthan Famous Forts

Amber Fort

Amber Fort (11 km from central Jaipur). This massive fort-palace complex built in hybrid Hindu-Muslim style dates back to Raja Man Singh and was the royal palace

of the Kachwahas from c. 1600 to 1727.

The FortLike many of today's visitors to Amber Fort, I approached it riding an elephant up the steep ramp. From here, my elephant entered through the grand Singh Pol gateway

and continuing to Jaleb Chowk, the courtyard where I disembarked the pachyderm with other members of AsiaExplorers.

Origins

Amber was originally built by the Meenas in the town they consecrated to Amba, the Mother Goddess, whom they knew as `Gatta Rani' or `Queen of the Pass' [Tod.II.282 ]. Built over the remnants of an earlier structure, the palace complex which stands today was commenced under the reign of Raja Man Singh, Commander in

Chief of Akbar's army and a member of the Emperor's inner circle of nine courtiers

Structure

The structure which is known today as "Amber Fort" was initially a palace complex within the original fort of Amber that is today known as Jaigarh Fort. Connected toAmber via fortified passages, Jaigarh Fort is located on a hill above the Amber complex, and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It overlooks Maotha

Lake, and was reputed to be the treasure vault of the Kacchwaha rulers.

Tourism and tourist attractions

Tourists can ride up to the fort from the base of the hill on elephants. On the ride, one can see the skyline of Jaipur, Maotha lake, and the original city walls. The fortcan be toured with a guide or on one's own. One of the most striking parts of the fort is the Hall of Mirrors. Tour guides tell visitors that when the palace was occupied

y royalty, the hall could be lit at night by a single candle because of all the tiny, intricate mirrors.

Jaigarh Fort

At a distance of 15kms from Jaipur, stands the imposing Jaigarh Fort. Also called the Victory Fort, the Jaigarh Fort stands in the midst of thorn-scrub hills that impart asterner look to the already forbidding Fort. As one approaches the fort from the steep road that leads to the main gate, the Dungar Darwaza, one cannot help but remark

at the amazing view it offers of the city below.

Hot Attractions

The FortJaigarh Fort was a center of artillery production for the Rajputs and it is home to the world's largest cannon on wheels, the Jaivana. The foundries provide fascinating

information for the visitors. The manner in which they drew in blasts of air from the desert is most intriguing. A 5km long canal can be seen entering the fort complex

to bring in water from the high hills and store in the fort for the armymen. A huge water tank is centrally located connecting the canal..

LocationOfFortJaigarh Fort is located on the top of the hill, by the name of Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles). Jaigarh Fort is also known as the 'Victory Fort', located at a comfortable

distance of 15kms from Jaipur. Jaigarh Fort is considered as one of the spectacular forts in India. This Fort is on top of the hill, while Amber Fort is at the bottom.Many people regard the two as one complex however both of them are well connected with well guarded passages. Jaigarh Fort positioned centrally in the thorn-scrubhill, leaves a stern impact on the spectator at once.

About Jaigarh Fort

Built by Sawai Jai Singh in the year 1726 to bolster the defence of the area, Jaigarh is the best example of a full-fledged citadel. A simple looking fort, no palaces orother delicate structures have been built inside the fort. The architecture makes clear Sawai Jai Singh's intentions of using the fort purely as a military structure. Also

known as the Victory Fort, Jaigarh is located some 15 kms away from the city centre on a cliff. The fort is surrounded by huge battlements. The inside walkways have

een built in such a way that a clear view of all the sides are easily available. There is a steep road leading to Dungar Darwaza-the main entrance of Jaigarh fort. Theiew that one gets of Jaipur city from the fort is simply amazing.

Nahargarh Fort

In 1734, seven years after his new capital was built Jai Singh II began to build this small fort. Two and a half-centuries later it still stands tall on a steep rocky face

with massive walls and bastions for company. The fort provides an excellent view of the Pink City spread out at its foot. Jai Singh II named it Sudarshangarh

(sudarshan chakra: Lord Vishnu's discus; garh: fort).

The Monsoon Palace

The Nahargarh fort reigns the wide skyline during the day and frames a mesmerizing site when floodlit at night. Maharajah Sawai Madho Singh, always wanted to

have a pleasure retreat, beside his popular duck shooting arena at Jal Mahal. So in 1880, he bade the eminent Bengali architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya to design amagnificent monsoon haven for his nine maharanis, and today it stands- with its past legends and present glory- as a splendid example of love in the hearts of people.

As the main attraction of the fort, the Madhavendra Bhawan, has a cluster of 12 identical double story suits for queens and at the acme is a regal suit for the king

himself.

Location Of FortThe famous Nahargarh Fort in Rajasthan is located on the sheer rugged parapet of Aravali Hills forming an impressive northern decor of Jaipur. The Nahargarh Fort,

also known as the Tiger Fort was strategically exigent and was built as a means of cushioning Amer. The older parts of the fort succumbed to the blitzkrieg of time

ut the newer additions are simply mind blowing.

only to the Gir Forest sanctuary in Gujarat), Sloth Bear, Caracal, several species of Deer, Gharial, Crocodile and Otter in its wetlands, Pangolin Jackal, Wild Dog,Wolf, Hyena, Jungle Civet and Fishing Cats, Ratel, Common and Desert Fox, Wild Boar, Rhesus Monkey and Langur, and, of course, a host of avian species.

was named Chitrakot. Later, Sisodia Rajput ruler, Ajai Pal Chauhan made some modifications in it.

dating back to the 8th century.

Jaisalmer Fort

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the largest of desert forts of the world. It is situated in Jaisalmer city in Indian state of Rajasthan. It was built in 1156 AD by the Bhati Rajput

ruler Rawal Jaisal, from where it derives it name. The fort stands proudly admist the golden stretches of the great Thar Desert, on Trikuta Hill and had been the scene ofmany battles. Its massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion color during the day, turning to a magical honey-gold as the sun sets and camouflages the fort making

it appear a part of the picturesque yellow desert. Thus, it is also known as the "Golden Fort".

Hot Attractions

Construction of the Fort

An apt description of the Jaisalmer fort, one of the finest in the country but one which looks rather incongruous given the desolation around it. Located bang in the

middle of the Thar desert (literal meaning abode of the dead), it rises like a mirage from the sands, with its huge turrets pointing skywards. Built in 1156, Jaisalmer is

the second oldest of Rajasthan's major forts after Chittorgarh. Constructed by Raja Jaisal, who was searching for a new capital as the earlier one Lodurva was too

ulnerable to invasions, he built the fort and the city surrounding it, thus fulfilling Lord Krishna's prophecy in the Mahabharata

Located on a HilltopMounted atop Trikuta, the almost triangular triple-peaked hill, the fort rises like a sunbeam from the desert, 250 feet tall, and is reinforced by an imposing crenellated

sandstone wall 30 feet high. It has as many as 99 bastions, 92 of which were built between 1633 and 1647 to be used as gun platforms. The view of the 99 bastions of

the yellow sandstone fort, the desert citadel of Raja Jaisal, is spectacular to behold. The fortifications have grown exponentially over the centuries, and wells within theconfines still provide a regular source of water to the fort.

A Marvel Built in Sandstone

Just as the Taj in Agra is worth visiting on a full moon night, Jaisalmer fort by nightfall is a sight to behold, it has all the romance and suspense of a

Hitchcockian mystery. You half expect an invading army to march up to the castle, over its enormous paved flagstones, while those defending the fort shoot

missiles at them from the ramparts. Suffice to say the Jaisalmer fort is one of the marvels of Rajasthani architecture, particularly of the stone-carver's art.

Junagarh Fort

Junagarh Fort is an impressive fort in the city of Bikaner, Rajasthan. The fort was originally called Chintamani and was renamed Junagarh or "Old Fort" in the early

20th century when the ruling family moved to Lalgarh Palace. [1] It is one of the few major forts in Rajasthan not built on a hi lltop. It was built under the supervison

of Karan Chand[2] the prime minister of Raja Rai Singhji, the sixth ruler of Bikaner, who ruled from 1571 to 1611 AD. Construction of the walls and associated moat

commenced in 1588 and were completed in 1593.

Rajasthan

Rjasthn (Rajasthani: , pronounced [radstan ( listen (the land of colours[ the land of

Rajasthanis, is the largest state of the Republic of India by area. It encompasses most of the area of the large,

inhospitable Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert), which has an edge paralleling the Sutlej-Indus river valley along

its border with Pakistan. It is one of the most beautiful states of India which attracts very large number of

domestic and foreign tourists in India. The state is bordered by Pakistan to the west, Gujarat to the southwest,

Madhya Pradesh to the southeast, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to the northeast and Punjab to the north.

Rajasthan covers an area of 132,150 sq mi or 342,239 km. The proportion of the state's total area to the totalarea of the country is 10.41 per cent.

Jaipur is the capital and the largest city of the state. Geographical features include the Thar Desert along

north-western Rajasthan and the termination of the Ghaggar River near the archaeological ruins at Kalibanga,

which are the oldest in the subcontinent discovered so far.

One of the world's oldest mountain ranges, the Aravalli Range, cradles the only hill station of Rajasthan,Mount Abu, famous for Dilwara Temples, a sacred pilgrimage for Jains. Eastern Rajasthan has the world

famous Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur, once famous for its bird life and is a World Heritage Site and

two famous national tiger reserves, Ranthambore and Sariska Tiger Reserve. Rajasthan was formed on 30

March 1949, when all erstwhile princely states ruled by Rajputs, known as Rajputana, merged into the

Dominion of India.

It was essentially the country of the Gurjars.[2] Historian R. C. Majumdar explained that the region was long

known as Gurjaratra (Country protected by the Gurjars or Gurjar nation), early form of Gujarat, before it came

to be called Rajputana, early in the Muslim period.[3] The historian John Keay in his book, India: A History

stated that, Rajputana name was given by Britishers and The word even achieved a retrospective authenticity,

in 1829 translation of Ferishta's history of early Islamic India, John Briggs discarded the phrase Indian princes,

as rendered in Dow's earlier version, and substituted Rajpoot princes.[4]


6/12

The only difference between erstwhile Rajputana and Rajasthan is that certain portions of what had been

British India, in the former province of Ajmer-Merwara, were included. Portions lying geographically outside of

Rajputana such as the Sumel-Tappa area were included in Madhya Pradesh.

TheIndus Valley Civilization, one of the world's first and oldest civilizations, was located in parts of what is

now Rajasthan.KalibanganinHanumangarh district, Rajasthan was a major provincial capital of the Indus

Valley Civilization.[5]

It is believed thatWestern Kshatrapas(35405 BC) wereSakarulers of the western partof India (Saurashtra and Malwa: modern Gujarat, Southern Sindh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan). They were

successors to theIndo-Scythians, and were contemporaneous with theKushanswho ruled the northern part ofthe Indian subcontinent. The Indo-Scythians invaded the area ofUjjainand establish theSaka era(withSaka

calendar), marking the beginning of the long-lived SakaWestern Satrapskingdom.[6]

Traditionally the,Meenas,Rajputs,Yadavs,Jats,Bhils,Gurjars, ,Bishnoisand other tribes made a greatcontribution in building the state of Rajasthan. All these tribes suffered great difficulties in protecting theirculture and the land. Millions

[7]of them were martyred trying to protect their land.Gurjarshad been

exterminated inBhinmalandAjmerareas fighting with the invaders.Bhilsonce ruledKota.[7]

Meenaswere

Gurjarsruled many dynasties in this part of country.In fact this region was long known as Gurjaratra.[3]

Up to

the tenth century almost the whole ofNorth India, exceptingBengal, owned supermacy ofGurjarswith their

seat of power atKannauj.[8]

Gurjar Pratihars acted as barrier forArabinvaders from 6th to 11th century.Thechief credit of Gurjar Pratihar empire lies in its succecessful resistance to the foreign invasions from the west,

from the days ofJunaid.Majumdarsays that this was frankly recognised by the Arab writers themselves.He

further clears that Historians of India have wondered at the slow progress of Muslim invaders in India, ascompared with their rapid advance in other parts of the world.Now there can be little doubt that it was the

power of the Gurjara Pratihara army that effectively barred the progress of the Muslims beyond the confines of

Sindh, their first conquest for nearly three hundred years.[9]

The earlier contributions of warriors and protectors of the land (Vishnoi,Ahirs,Gurjars,Jats,BhilsandMeenas)

were neglected and lost in history due to stories of valour shown by certain specific clans in later years grainingmore prominence over older acts of bravery.

includes most ofRajputana, which comprises mainly the erstwhile Rajput kingdoms as well as two Jat

kingdoms and aMuslimkingdom.Marwar(Jodhpur),Bikaner,Mewar(Udaipur),AlwarandDhundhar(Jaipur)

were some of the main Rajput states. The Jats were rulers inBharatpurandDholpur.Tonkwas ruled by a

MuslimNawab. Rajput families rose to prominence in the 6th century CE. The Rajputs put a very valiantresistance to the Islamic invasions and protected this land with their warfare and chivalry for more than 500

years. They also resistedMughalincursions into India, but contributed to the slower than anticipated access totheIndian Subcontinent. Later the Mughals, with a technique based on a combination of treachery and skilled

warfare were able to set firm a grip on northern India, including Rajasthan. The fighter spirit and valour of

Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, the Hindu Emperor, also known as Hemu in theHistory of Indiawas born

in the village of Machheri inAlwar Districtin the year 1501. He had won 22 battles against Afghans, fromPunjabtoBengaland had defeated Akbar's forces twice atAgraandDelhiin 1556,

[11]before acceeding to the

throne ofDelhiand establishing 'Hindu Raj' inNorth India, albeit for a short duration, fromPurana Quilain

Delhi. He was killed in theSecond Battle of Panipat.

Maharana PratapofMewarresistedAkbarin the famousBattle of Haldighatiand later operated from hilly areas

of his kingdom. Bhils were Maharana's main allies during these wars. Most of these attacks were evenly met as

the Mughal forces outnumbered Mewar Rajputs in all the wars fought between them. The Haldighati war wasfought between 10,000 Mewaris and a 100,000 strong Mughal force (including many Rajputs likeKachwahas

from Dhundhar). Over the years the Mughals began to have internal disputes which took their concentration

away at times. They also had to fight offPathanwarriors from neighbouringAfghanistanand the newer enemy,theBritish Empirewhich consisted of large numbers of natives whilst engaging against various other regional

powers such as the Persians. The Mughal Empire eventually weakened to which several groups across their

kingdom (including Sikhs) saw opportunities to establish their power whilst the army was fighting somewhere

else. The Rajputs saw this as an opportunity to reassert their independence. With the decline of the MughalEmpire in the 18th century,Rajputanacame under attack by theMarathasandPindaris, and the Maratha general

Scindiacaptured Ajmer. The Rajput kings following a rapid defeat, concluded treaties with the British in the

early 19th century, accepting British sovereignty in return for local autonomy. Following the Mughal tradition

as well as its strategic locationAjmerbecame a province of British India, while the autonomous Rajput states,the Muslim stateTonk, and theJatstates (BharatpurandDholpur) were organized into theRajputana Agency.

TheMarwaris(people fromMarwar) and Rajasthan's formerly independent kingdom created a rich architectural

and cultural heritage, seen even today in their numerous forts and palaces (MahalsandHavelis) which are

enriched by features of Muslim andJainarchitecture. The development of thefrescosin Rajasthan is linkedwith the history of theMarwaris, who have also played a crucial role in the economic development of the

region. Many wealthy families throughoutIndian historyhave links toMarwar. These families include the

legendaryBirla,Bhandari,Bajaj,MittalandMirzafamilies.

Rajasthan is known for its famous stories within its very rich cultural history, one of which is the popular love

story of a Rajput Princess, Juhi Saini and her beloved husband Chetan Sharma, who was a warrior ranked veryhigh in the Rajput army and was known for his acts of bravery. He saved Princess Juhi from any harm and

problems she encountered during her lifetime and their passionate heart-filled love story became a tale that is

still told today to the youths of Rajasthan. Princess Juhi and Warrior Chetan grew old together and were buried

in the same spot together in the gardens of Hawa Mahal, Jaipur.

Geography

TheAravalli Rangeadds diversity to the landscape of Rajasthan.TheThar DesertThe hills aroundJaipur.

The main geographic features of Rajasthan are theThar Desertand theAravalli Range, which runs through thestate from southwest to northeast, almost from one end to the other, for more than 850 km.Mount Abuis at the

southwestern end of the range, separated from the main ranges by theWest Banas River, although a series ofbroken ridges continues intoHaryanain the direction ofDelhiwhere it can be seen as outcrops in the form oftheRaisina Hilland the ridges farther north. About three-fifths of Rajasthan lies northwest of the Aravallis,

leaving two-fifths on the east and south.

The northwestern portion of Rajasthan is generally sandy and dry. Most of the region is covered by theThar

Desert, which extends into adjoining portions of Pakistan. The Aravalli Range does not intercept the moisture-

Thar Desert, between the desert and the Aravallis. This region receives less than 400 mm ofrainin an average

year. Temperatures can exceed 45 C in the summer months and drop below freezing in the winter. TheGodwar,Marwar, andShekhawatiregionslie in the thorn scrub forest zone, along with the city ofJodhpur. The

Luni Riverand its tributaries are the major river system of Godwar and Marwar regions, draining the western

slopes of the Aravallis and emptying southwest into the greatRann of Kutchwetland in neighboringGujarat.

This river is saline in the lower reaches and remains potable only up to Balotara in Barmer district. TheGhaggarRiver, which originates inHaryana, is an intermittent stream that disappears into the sands of the Thar Desert in

the northern corner of the state and is seen as a remnant of the primitiveSaraswatiriver.

The Aravalli Range and the lands to the east and southeast of the range are generally more fertile and better

watered. This region is home to theKathiarbar-Gir dry deciduous forestsecoregion, withtropical dry broadleaf

foreststhat includeteak,Acacia, and other trees. The hillyVagadregion lies in southernmost Rajasthan, on theborder withGujarat. With the exception of Mount Abu, Vagad is the wettest region in Rajasthan, and the most

heavily forested. North of Vagad lies theMewarregion, home to the cities ofUdaipurandChittaurgarh. The

Hadotiregion lies to the southeast, on the border with Madhya Pradesh. North of Hadoti and Mewar is the

Dhundharregion, home to the state capital ofJaipur.Mewat, the easternmost region of Rajasthan, bordersHaryanaandUttar Pradesh. Eastern and southeastern Rajasthan is drained by theBanasandChambalrivers,

tributaries of theGanges.

The Aravali Range runs across the state from the southwest peakGuru Shikhar(Mount Abu), which is 1,722 min height, toKhetriin the northeast. This divides the state into 60% in the northwest of the range and 40% in the

southeast. The northwest tract is sandy and unproductive with little water but improves gradually from desertland in the far west and northwest to comparatively fertile and habitable land towards the east. The area

includes the Thar Desert. The south-eastern area, higher in elevation (100 to 350 m above sea level) and more

fertile, has a very diversified topography. in the south lies the hilly tract ofMewar. In the southeast, a large areawithin the districts ofKotaandBundiforms a tableland. To the northeast of these districts is a rugged region

(badlands) following the line of theChambal River. Farther north the country levels out; the flat plains of the

northeasternBharatpur districtare part of analluvialbasin.
