Heritage Hotels and Palace Hotels
Rajasthan was always an exotic land, a
country that the Western world fantasised
about. Here were to be found the martial
races that ruled India, tracing their
lineage from the warring gods, and known for
their aestheticism as well as their
chivalry. Here were riches to be found, and
splendid, rare jewels. Palaces stood the
test of time. Great armies went to war. Over
centuries, different dynasties ruled form
different parts of the country, their
kingdoms built on reciprocity with
neighbouring kingdoms. However, it was under
the Mughals, first, and the British, next,
that an attempt was made to unify the land
and breadth of the country as one nation.

Members of the royal houses, and those of
the aristocratic order that functioned just
under them, drew up an elaborate system that
reflected in a lifestyle that consisted of
amazing discipline, of great opulence, and
sometimes also indulgences. There were hunts
and balls, but also elaborate ceremonies;
marriages sometimes lasted months, festivals
were celebrated with great pomp, and the
families ruled with a benevolence that
ensured the wellbeing of their states.
In a country such as India where nature
takes its toll annually, as much because of
droughts as because of floods, the rulers
often commissioned their greatest
architectural monuments- forts, palaces,
temples- to ensure employment and food for
the poorest. And from situa-tions of
adversity rose great monumental wonders,
some of the most exquisite the world has
seen.
'Khamaghani' say Rajasthani families,
welcoming you into their homes and hearts.
Hospitality is a courtesy that comes
naturally to most Indians, and graciousness
is a way of being. No wonder then that
courtesies go hand-in-hand with festivals
and celebrations that are a part of a way of
being in one of the oldest civilisations of
the world. |
