For centuries, Rajasthan has been synonymous with romance, a desert state with martial kingdoms where not just tales of valour, splendid forts and fairytale palaces, but also its rich repertoire of art and culture, have played a significant part in building its heritage. Visitors associate it as much with history as with music and dance. Indeed, it is not unusual for them to see musicians, bards, singers, performers and other entertainers even by the streetside. Music and dance have been woven into the social fabric of Rajasthan. The rhythms of celebration will accompany you throughout your visit to the state.

As in most folk traditions, there are songs and dances to celebrate every aspect of life - birth, naming ceremonies, marriage, the changing seasons, love and separation, or devotion to god. These events are deeply enmeshed within the lives of the people, and they have zealously guarded their cultural traditions and historical legacy.
