68 years ago on 30th March, 1949, this dessert land with architectural heritage, majestic forts, fairy tale- palaces and rooted cultural background formed India’s largest state by area. Rajasthan is a wonderful state in India that truly lives in accordance with the adage “Atithi Devo Bhava.” An exposed arid region yet lively, vivacious streets with dynamic and hospitable people say “Padharo Mhare Des.” The royal golden times and multihued festivals of Rajasthan with noble monuments and fortresses narrate the stories of the state’s splendid history. To acknowledge this day, Rajasthan tourism has organized a 4 day event with cultural programs, musical nights, visual mapping show at VidhanSabha, fashion walks, adventurous air shows and peaceful Bhajans, to be held in every nook and corner of the city.
