Rajasthan is a place where cities pink and gold
have been built over ashes of the dead. Citadels and fortresses, palaces and ramparts
have sprung up in between the sands of the Thar, the great Indian desert that
stretches through the western half of Rajasthan. The desert lands are framed by
the 700 km craggy heights of the Aravallis, cutting the land in half. To the east
of the Aravallis, Rajasthan grows its cotton in an agriculturally rich alluvial
soil.

a place full of warmth as well. You may come here as a stranger, but you leave
as a friend.
