RAJASTHAN (14 Giorni) INDIA RAJASTHAN (14 giorni) Probabilmente è lo Stato più conosciuto di tutta l'India, perchè in Rajasthan si possono trovare riuniti molti degli elementi che, in letteratura e nell'immaginario comune, hanno forgiato l'idea della terra da favola esotica che caratterizza il paese. La suddivisione in piccoli clan dei Rajput, dal medioevo signori di queste terre, ha fatto sì che ogni città divenisse un piccolo regno a sé e che ogni centro spesso offra ancora oggi fortezze e palazzi mirabili, cesellati e costruiti con la raffinatezza unica dello stile Rajput o indo-islamico. Questo particolare genere architettonico è il prodotto della fusione della cultura locale con quelle delle dominazioni che si susseguirono nel medioevo e oltre. Il deserto del Thar è il grande deserto indiano, in totale sicurezza per le escursioni a dorso di dromedario o jeep che partono da Jaisalmer, straordinaria città-fortezza; la deliziosa Bikaner e la vicina Deshnoke, col celeberrimo tempio dei topi; più a est, si trovano alcune delle città gioiello del Rajasthan; imperdibile Udaipur, Jhodpur, dal rinfrescante colore azzurro; il bellissimo forte di Chittorgarh (Chittor), una delle più antiche città dello Stato, teatro di celebri leggende legate all'eroe rajput Bappa Rawal; Jaipur, merita una accurata visita: il palazzo dei venti un edificio rosa alto cinque piani con un'infinita serie di finestre e balconcini traforati; la fortezza di Amber, sede dell'antica capitale; Ranakpur per il tempio jain grandioso e immerso nella giungla La popolazione, tra le più povere dell'India, mantiene spesso inalterati abbigliamento e tradizioni antiche; spirito marziale, baffi da competizione, gioielli principeschi, raffinatissimi tessuti, turbanti e colori indimenticabili affascinano così il visitatore sin dal primo istante. E' impossibile parlare del Rajasthan senza menzionare il suo straordinario artigianato. Nei mercati di ogni villaggio e città potrete acquistare stoffe ricamate o stampate a mano, oggettistica in legno, babbucce da sogno, gioielli in argento, miniature Le tradizioni decorative, architettoniche e pittoriche - tanto quella induista, quanto quella dei conquistatori d'oltre-indo, si incontrarono qui dando esempi magnifici, grazie ad una base di influenza comune, grandiosa e pre-islamica: la tradizione della confinante Persia e quelle centroasiatiche di tradizione islamica. Le popolazioni e le carovane arrivavano liberamente da un lato all'altro del fiume Indo durante millenni, portando con sè, assieme alle mercanzie, anche tutto il sapere del vecchio mondo in entrambe le direzioni.

Rajasthan has seen the grandeur of the Rajputs, the gallantry of the Mughals, and the extravagance of Jat monarchs. None the less history of Rajasthan has been shaped and molded to fit one typical school of thought but it holds deep secrets and amazing stories of splendors of the past wrapped in various shades of mysteries stories.

  • SOUTHERN RAJASTHAN 221 Kota Bundi Chittorgarh Udaipur Kumbalgarh Ranakpur Mt Abu
    © Lonely Planet Publications 220 lonelyplanet.com 221 Southern Rajasthan Southern Rajasthan holds arguably Rajasthan’s most enchanting city, Udaipur, a milk-white confection meandering around several lakes. The city is the ultimate in Rajput fantasy with its cream-coloured havelis (traditional mansions) and palaces, one of which, floating in Pichola Lake, is among the world’s most famous hotels, the Lake Palace. In the south of the region are Rajasthan’s two finest forts, Chittorgarh (Chittor), sprawl- ing over an enormous hilltop plateau, and remote Kumbalgarh, perched at 1100m, with breathtaking views over the dense Aravalli Hills fading into a pale blue horizon. Here, too, are two Jain temple complexes where artistic virtuosity reached dizzy peaks. Ranakpur, deep in an Aravalli valley, has a hall of 1444 pillars, each one different; Dilwara, on a hilltop near Mt Abu, sports marble carving so delicate that it’s almost transparent. Mt Abu is Ra- jasthan’s only hill station; a cool holiday destination for locals, it’s still largely undiscovered by foreign tourists. If you’re keen to get off the well-beaten track, Bundi, though definitely discovered, is an enchanting town, painted Brahmin blue and overlooked by a palace; nearby Kota holds another fine palace. Jhalawar, meanwhile, is really off the trail, with its mighty, forgotten fort and nearby city of temples. Serene Jaisamand, a vast blue-reflecting hill-ringed expanse, is Asia’s biggest artificial lake. The region offers some exhilarating activities too. You can trek or ride the beautiful countryside near Udaipur, Mt Abu or Kumbalgarh, cycle about Bundi, or take a boat trip down the crocodile habitats of the Chambal River.

Soon, however, the farmers would start planting, and we wanted to wrap up our transect work so that we would not trample the young seedlings. We were working in the out- skirts of Chatrikhera, a small village that has been occupied for thousands of years.

However, he accomplished so much grandeur during his reign that his glory surpassed the boundaries of countries and time turned him into an immortal personality. He along with his kingdom became a synonym of valour, sacrifice and patriotism. Mewar had been a leading Rajput kingdom even before Maharana Pratap occupied the throne. Kings of Mewar, with the cooperation of their nobles and subjects, had established such traditions in the kingdom, which augmented their magnificence, despite the hurdles of having a smaller area under their command and less population. There did come a few thorny occasions, when the flag of the kingdom seemed sliding down. Their flag once again heaved high in the sky thanks to the gallantry and brilliance of the people of Mewar. 2.

This glorious tradition of the kingdom almost continued for 1500 years since its establishment, right from the reign of Bappa Rawal.
