Rural Life in Rajasthan

The villages of Rajasthan are still portraying the most modern form of civilization with the landscape being dotted with heaps of hamlet and the thick trees being rugged along with the herd of cattle being the only indication of a settlement nearby. You can find circular huts, roofs and mud walls which have been covered with a plaster made of clay, hay and cow dung to make a façade which can blend easily with the sands in the desert which can be found everywhere.

The ones who want to experience the traditional Rajasthan should experience the desert and see how the people live and survive there. Experiencing the life of people who travel all the time and do not really have a house will make you understand the true life of Rajasthan. But when these people step out to visit the pilgrims or the fairs which are held now and then, they just add colors to it and make it more beautiful. Putting on the red and saffron turban, wearing the swirling skirts with their women being in a veil, they roam around add colors in lives of people around them.

You can have a never before experience when you explore the villages of Rajasthan which are far away from modernization.
