Key Highlights of the Rajasthan Photography Tour
This photographic adventure captures not only the highlights of this culturally rich province of Rajasthan, but the small villages off the beaten track.
Throughout millennia of history, Rajasthan has seen the rise and fall of many states and civilisations, from the Indus Valley people up to the Rajputs. As a result, the region has become an eclectic cultural hub of Hindu, Islamic, Jain, and folk customs. Together with the surrounding areas of Northern India, Rajasthan had previously fallen under Vedic and Mughal influence, making it one of India’s most culturally vibrant regions.
