The Rajputs were prolific builders who left behind a legacy of some of the most imposing and magnificent forts
and palaces in the world. A bid for survival in the harsh Thar Desert and a history replete with valour, romance and
tragedy: the forts and palaces of Rajasthan are a microcosm of the images from the past.
Cities, towns and villages - all had their forts and protective ramparts. It was customary to build the palace within
the fort, outside which lay the city, enclosed within a fortified wall, as in Jaipur and Udaipur. some forts occupied
commanding heights on hills overlooking the city, as in Jodhpur and Alwar.
At Amber and Bundi, the ramparts start at the base of the hill, the palace stands against the hillside, while the forts
is on the summit. in Jaisalmer, Kumbhalgarh and Chittaur, the entire settlement is within the fortifications as an
enclosed unit, while the Bharatpur and Deeg forts had moats. And the palaces set in the sylvan setting of gardens,
delicately constructed pavilions and the gaily sprinkling fountains...
Many of these have now been converted into unique Heritage and Palace Hotels, which offer an opportunity to experience
history, traditional cuisine, entertainment by local artistes and a chance to graciousness of a bygone era.
Visit the unique heritage monuments and stay in heritage hotels with royal hospitality. |
