Rajasthan, literally "Land of the Kings", was once a clutch of princely kingdoms. The Rajputs, who ruled here for over a thousand years, were legendary for their chivalry. Today, this desert state's battle-scarred forts, historic cities, palace hotels, feudal traditions and riotous colors represent India at her exotic best.  Situated on the western side of the country, the state is diagonally divided into the hilly and rugged south-eastern region and the barren north-western Thar Desert, which extends across the border into Pakistan.  Rajasthan is one of India's prime tourist destinations. Nobody leaves here without priceless memories and a bundle of souvenirs.
