Rajasthan when translated to English means the 'land of kings' and so it is. It is the richest state of India in terms of magnificent palaces, forts, colorful festivals and bazaars. The Aravalli range divides the 342,000 sq km state in two parts from the northeast to the southwest. Once ruled by three great kingdoms- Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, and Bikaner, the Thar Desert covers the western plains.
