While describing Rajasthan, the word 'colorful' is
probably the most appropriate adjective. The word applies both literally
and figuratively, as the desert terrain is alive with colors and one
wonders how humans have outdone the contribution of nature in making
Rajasthan so colorful. Be it men or women, the dressing pattern and
choice of colors outshine even the color of the rainbow. Men, with their
upturned mustaches, sport attractive turbans in orange, pink, yellow and
red and animals here are adorned with colorful ornaments, their faces
being painted in complex patterns and designs. This amazing pattern of
colors is seen in the beautiful and magnificent forts and palaces as
well.
As you traverse across the sandy desert, you get to feel the warmth and
beauty of the land, which has thousands of bards of bravery to tell. The
magnificent forts and palaces stand as a testimony to the bygone era and
speak volumes of the opulence of the rulers. One is surprised how the
human spirit fought against all odds to erect such enormous structures
in this barren land. Every piece of monument has a story of heroism,
chivalry and romance attached to it. As you move from one place to
another, you get to explore and discover new facets of the desert state.
The magnificent structures leave you awestruck while the simplicity and
the way of life of the common folks makes an everlasting impression on
your mind. Rajasthan is truly unbelievable!
