Architectural Heritage of Rajasthan
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.
