country. The remains of seven distinctive capital cities - among
them Shahjahanabad and Qutab Minar - can be seen.
Udaipur Holidays
udaipur is perhaps a unique pre-modern capital in Rajasthan which
has no fort. Coming to life after the final sacking of Chittor ,
Udaipur saw an explosion of building activity - temples, palaces
and Havelis. Lake Picchola with its two islands- Jagniwas (now
the Lake Palace Hotel) and Jagmandir defines Udaipur. The City
Palace towers over the lake. The artificial Jaisamand Lake was
created in 17th century by damming the Gomti River. There are
beautiful chhatries (Cenotaphs) around the embankment.
Rohet Holidays
Rohet - the fortified desert home of the descendants of the 16th
century Rathore of the Champawat clan, Thakur Dalpat Singh I. The
"Jagir" (Fiefdom) of Rohet was bestowed upon him in 1622 A.D. by
the Maharaja Of Jodhpur, as a mark of appreciation for his
bravery in battle. Generations of valiant noble-men have built
this heritage home where, notwithstanding the inroads of
modernity, aristocratic values are respected. The visitor of
today experiences the famed warmth of courteous Rajput
hospitality.
Pushkar Holidays
Pushkar is the most revered place for the Hindus. Lord Brahma the
creator of this universe wanted to hold Vedic Yagna, while
contemplating on the venue to hold this Yagna a lotus flower fell
on earth and water spurted at three places. He decided Pushkar to
be the venue. The biggest attraction is the temple of Lord Brahma
the only one in the world. It is believed that who so ever has
tried in building another one could not complete it and
died.

exists in Shekhawati. Singhania, Goenka, Birla, Bharatiya, Jalan,
Saraf, Poddar the list is impressive . The successful marwaris
ventured out to the ports of Bombay and Calcutta , prospered and
spent lavishly on beautifully painted havelis in the 18th and
19th centuries .The painters are as much at ease with Krishna and
the gopis as with the Wright brothers trying to fly their
machines. Shekhawati is not a town or a village, but a region
comprising Sikar and Jhunjhunu districts with a network of towns
Nawalgarh , Dhundlodh, Mandawa, Lachhmangarh , Fatehpur and Sikar
