News| Sawan
Teej Festival Teej is the festival of swings. It marks the advent of the monsoon month of Sawan (August). The monsoon rains fall on the parched land and the pleasing scent of the wet soil rises into the air. Jaipur to have Elephant Village Elephants in Jaipur and their keepers will have a new home, with work on a 'hathi gaon' (elephant village) to start soon. The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has handed over possession of 30 hectares of land on the Delhi bypass road to the Rajasthan Tourism department. Celebrating Rajasthan Diwas - 21st to 30th March 2005 The people of Rajasthan, who rejoice everyday in effervescent ways of their life, who enliven their traditions every now & then in festivities & revelries, are all set to celebrate Rajasthan Diwas in a grand manner this year throughout the state from 21st March to 30th March. Rajasthan set for Record Tourism One of the world's most favoured tourist destinations, Rajasthan has witnessed an unprecedented growth of more than 50 percent in domestic and foreign tourist traffic this year. The desert state witnessed a record arrival of more than 600,000 foreign tourists and 12.5 million domestic tourists in 2003. Rajasthan Temples to get Rs.400 million facelift The desert state of Rajasthan which boasts of several ancient temples will renovate them now as part of an action plan by the state's devasthan (temple) department. As much as Rs.400 million ($9.15 million) has been assigned for the task that covers over 100 temples, many of which are completely ruined and no more in use. High on tourism, Rajasthan plans six airstrips Enthused by a spurt in tourist arrivals, Rajasthan is planning to construct airstrips in six towns of the state. Three of the new airstrips would be in Jhalawar, Pali and Banswara. The sites for the other three airfields are yet to be finalised. "The Planning Commission has already approved a sum of Rs.100 million ($2 million) for the construction of airstrips in six places," a senior official of the state tourism department told IANS. Udaipur's royal past attracts tourists A glimpse into the royal past of Udaipur through a sound and light show is attracting tourists to Rajasthan's famed city of lakes. The one-hour Son et Lumiere (sound and light show) titled "Legacy of Honour" presents glimpses of 1,500 years of history of the Mewars of the state. The privately initiated project was started a week ago by the Udaipur royalty to attract tourists to the city. Rustic Rajasthan HOT ‘n’ spicy, that’s the best way to describe the very scintillating and tongue tingling Rajasthani fare. Rich and vibrant, the flavours of the rustic and sandy locales are anything but bland and ordinary. A platter of some of the most exotic and fiery herbs, the Rajasthani ‘Chokhi Dhani,’ is quite a simmering mouthful. And bringing home the vary tantalising flavours is Hotel Heritage, Sector 35. |
