The most authentic of these are the following: The Temple Festivals in southern India, a list of which is often available at Government of India Tourist Offices. Festivals at Ladakh in Kashmir. Festivals in Rajasthan; a visitor will be unlucky to visit Rajasthan at a time when a festival of some kind is not either in progress or about to take place. The visitor may also be lucky enough to witness dancing at a village festival or a private wedding. Leave a Comment

The former Maharaja's Palace is now turned into a museum that can be visited daily. Fabulous rooms, incredible paintings and luxury all around. The entrance is very cheap, no photos allowed inside the palace. You must remove your shoes to enter (wear sandals and wash your feet that day!).
At nights on sundays the lighten up all the Palace with more than 50.000 lights!!! Leave a Comment
