Colorful Rajathan

Rajasthan is pictured as a joyous riot of colours. Not only the people here are dressed in colours and offer the great hospitable experience, even the cities here wear the shades of welcome, pride and honour. If Jaipur is elegantly draped in welcoming pink, Bikaner and Jaisalmer are covered into golden honey hues, Jodhpur is coated in royal blue hues and Udaipur and Ranakpur are etched in white marble.
