A step into 'RAJASTHANI CULTURE' !!!

December 24th,2011 

Commonly known as the "Land of Kings", the topographical variation of Rajasthan, its culture is a wide spectrum of brilliant hues. Its colourful costume attracts everyone.!! Rajasthan is colorful because of what its people wear..The dull-colored monotone of the sands and hills look cheery with the vibrant spirits of the people who wear bright colors to make up for the absence of blossoming flowers..Rajasthani Turbans, this is what attracted us towards that place in the first go..

 Rajasthani cuisine :
Rajasthani cuisine is very unique and it was my pleasure to experience and taste the rajasthani food that day !!The cuisine of Rajasthan is highly influenced by both the war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in the desert region. Scarcity of water and lack of fresh green vegetables also had their effect on Rajasthani cooking..

One particular Thali (थाली) consisted of 22 items in all ., including dal batti, chhajh, rice, bajre ki khichdi,raabdi and many more ..
For the purpose of drinking water, a special copper coated steel glass was used. It was i guess, about 5 times heavier han normal glass we use in our routine.

the special 'glass'

 In all. it was a great time experiencing the culture of North-West India, the way they live, eat .Had a great time !!!
