The culture of Rajasthan can be said
to be the microcosmic representation of
the diversity that exists in India. Rajasthan
is culturally very prosperous and has
profound implications for art and cultural
traditions that are reflected in the ancient
Indian lifestyle. Main example of the
culture of Rajasthan is reflected in the
richness and variety of popular culture
in the villages of Rajasthan. These cultural
elements are both fascinating and haunting.
Classical music and dance is part of the
cultural tradition of Rajasthan. The music
is simple and innocent songs depict day-to-day
relationships and tasks, often focused
around collecting water from wells or
ponds.
Here, we make a representation of the
dance culture of Rajasthan. The Ghoomar
dance of Udaipur and Kalbeliya has gained
international recognition because of its
color and variety of dance in Jaisalmer.
The music and dance is an essential and
integral part of the Rajasthani culture.
Kathputali, Bhopa, Chang, Teratali, Ghindar,
Kachchhighori, etc. Tejaji are examples
of traditional rajasthani culture. The
folk songs of Rajasthan are mainly ballads
sung in the traditional language and style
about heroic love stories of the past.
They also contain religious or devotional
songs known as bhajans and banis which
are often provided with musical accompaniment
by musical instruments like the dholak,
sitar, sarangi etc. that are also sung
following the traditional style.
In the culture of Rajasthan architectural
craftsmanship earned a special place of
its own. Among the highlights of Rajasthan
are the temples, and as a visitor, you
are certainly going to get the impression
of cultural development of the state.
Rajasthan is famous for its royal forts,
subtly carved temples and excellent architecture
houses, which were built by kings in previous
ages. Some of the most remarkable examples
of this place are Jantar Mantar, Dilwara
temples, Chittorgarh Fort, Lake Palace
Hotel, City Palace, Jaisalmer Havelis.
All these sites are part of the genuine
architectural heritage of India.
Jaipur, the pink city, is internationally
popular for the old houses made of a type
of sand stone on which you can see a light
shade of pink. Ajmer, the white marble-Bara
Dari Anasagar on the lake is exquisite.
Jain Temples of Rajasthan point from north
to south and from east to west. The Dilwara
temples of Mount Abu and Ranakpur Temple
are dedicated to Lord Adinath near Udaipur,
Jain temples in the fort complex. Chittor,
Jaisalmer and Kumbhalgarh, Lodarva Jain
temples, Bhandasar Temple of Bikaner are
some of the best examples.
