Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri Alwar

by RAJASTHANBYCAR

Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri is the royal cenotaph of Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh and his Queen Rani Moosi. This striking monument is placed out side the main palace building. Based on a pillared sand stone, this double storied structure was built by Vinay Singh, which presents an eye catching spectacle to the viewer with its elephant structural design. The upper story is build up of marble stones and it houses rounded roofs and striking bends. Highly ornamented interiors with marvelous wall paintings are worn out by lack of proper maintenance. Besides an architectural grandeur, this chhatri is placed in a picturesque location that is full of lush foliage and thriving flowers.

Sagar Lake Alwar

by RAJASTHANBYCAR

Sagar Lake located just behind the City Palace, Sagar lake was constructed in 1815 AD by Maharaja Vinay Singh. Formerly used as a holy bathing ghat, Sagar lake has been able to withstand the beatings of time. Over centuries, people has been following the sacred tradition of feeding the pigeons. It is this lovely pond that separates the City Palace from the surrounding pebbly hills. The local belief is that water in the pond is bestowed with some therapeutic tendencies. This beautiful lake houses some marvelous shrines and an array of gorgeous cenotaphs on its banks. These monuments along with the glittering waters of the lake present a rejuvenating environment to the spectator

Ranakpur vs Delwara

by toonhut

Since they both are Jain temples with high marble craftsmanship, not too far from each other, and completed around the same time more than 500 years ago, it will be good to know how they both differ. Delwara at Mount Abu5 temples. Most have very high intricacy on white marble that looks only 20 years old. Quite visited (crowded) with high security and surveillance cameras. You can easily spend hours noticing the details. [More in Mt. Abu post.]Ranakpur near Falna or Udaipur1 gigantic 3 story temple (you can visit each floor). Less relative intricacy on yellowish pink marble which looks rustic. Not very visited. Has 1444 pillars and around 330 statues of Jain deities of which each gets full ablutions and adornment every morning. Less visitors and less security. You can easily lose yourself in the scale of the craftsmanship.

Pushkar Camel Festival

by Justin_goa

The Pushkar Camel Fair is one of the largest in India and the only one of its kind in the entire world. During the fair, Lakhs of people from rural India flock to Pushkar, along with Camel and Cattle for several days of live stock trading, horse dealing, pilgrimage and religious festival. This small town, becomes a cultural phenomenon when colourfully dressed devotees, musicians, acrobats, folk dancers, traders, comedians, sadhus and tourists reach here during Pushkar fair. According to Hindu chronology, it takes place in the month of Kartika (October or November) beginning on ashtmi 8th day of Lunar Calendar and continues till full moon (Poornima). The Camel and Cattle trading is at its peak during the first half of festival period. During the later half, religious activities dominate the scenario. Devotees take dips in the holy "Sarovar" lake, as the sacred water is known to bestow...

This eight days fair held every year during the month of Jan-Feb, is popularly known as the Cattle fair and is the second largest in Rajasthan. Nagaur Town is the most picturesque of Rajput townships. Nagaur is a sea of animals, trading over 70,000 bullocks, camels and horses every year. The bullocks are known for their fleetness. Not only are the animals lavishly decorated, even their owners flaunt wearing colourful turbans and long moustaches.Shearing sheep, handsome marwari horses to spices all compiled in one fair. Attractions include the mirchi bazaar (largest red-chilly market of India), wooden items, iron-crafts and camel leather accessories.Sports like tug-of-war, camel races, bullock races and cock fights; jugglers; puppeteers, story-tellers; and exciting campfire evenings are held to entertain the tourists. Folk music of the Jodhpur variation echoes the tranquil desert sand.

Mount Abu - The Hill station

by sourbugger

Rajasthan only has one Hill-station, but I was very grateful of it's existence during a particularly swealtering July some years ago.Rajasthan is course 'Tourist central' when it comes to exporing the sub-continent, but this laid-back collection of lakes, hotels and temples means you can plan a break into your schedule. Not only is it a few degrees cooler, but the tourist frenzy of the big cities of the Golden Triangle can also be left to stew for a few days.The transport around the small town is one of the charmingly eccentric features of the place. The 'baba gaadi' is a kind of adult pram with bicycle wheels. They operate like rickshaws - so be sure to negotiate on the short distances involved. The last time that I was in a pram I seem to remember that involved a bonnet, a dummy and some old bat saying 'isn't he a coochie, coo ?". You will still look ridiculously silly - but what the...

Jaiselmer - desert time

by sourbugger

Jaiselmer is a somewhat remote city, near the India-Pakistan border. Up until quite modern times is derived it's wealth from being a staging post on the 'caravan routes' of vast lines of camels transporting goods. The development of ports such as Bombay and the partition of 1947 meants that its use as a transporation hub became very limited. The state goverment has therefore tried hard to encourage tourism to keep this fine historic town viable.The ancient sandstone fort is the main attraction, and you can stay within it's wall. There are also a selection of Havelli's or merchant houses. Some of these provide accommodation.Jaiselmer is also a great place to take a good Camel ride. this can be an overnight affair with a night spent under the stars in a desert that comes straight out of any child's sterotyped idea of a sany desert.The only real downside to the town are the carpet salesmen....
