Rajasthan: The Land Of Mharajas è molto più eccitante

Gemme nascoste del Rajasthan: oltre le principali attrazioni turistiche
Sede di centinaia di anni di tradizioni affascinanti, lo stato del Rajasthan è come un giro sulle sabbie del tempo. Mentre Jaipur, Udaipur e Jodhpur sono spesso i luoghi più ricercati del Rajasthan, ma la terra dei maharaja ha molto di più da offrire rispetto a quelle tre città.
Il possente Mehrangarh, il luccicante Lago Pichola e il brillante Amber Fort meritano tutta la campagna pubblicitaria, ma se scendi dal circuito turistico nel Rajasthan, scoprirai un bel po ‘di fughe inaspettate nello stato più sfarzoso dell’India.

Ogni volta che visito un nuovo posto, mi immergo in Air con la storia, l’architettura, la cultura, la tradizione e la bellezza del luogo.

Bundi è una città in cui potresti avere una sua foto in testa, ma spesso lotta per collocarla nel mondo reale.

Si ritiene che il premio Nobel Rudyard Kipling abbia scritto parte del suo famoso romanzo Kim in Bundi e questo è ciò che ha da dire sul palazzo del Bundi.


‘Jaipur Palace può essere chiamato il’ Versailles dell’India ‘. La casa di lotte di Jodhpur, torri grigie su roccia rossa, è opera di giganti, ma il Palazzo di Bundi, anche in pieno giorno, è un palazzo come gli uomini si costruiscono da soli in sogni inquieti – il lavoro dei folletti piuttosto che degli uomini. ‘
Luoghi da visitare a Bundi: – Sukh Mahal, Kshar Bag, Dabhai Kund, Raniji Ki Baori, Forte Taragarh, Lago Jait Sagar.

Conosciuta per i suoi ultra ricchi mestieri che includono intaglio del legno, ceramica, ricamo e stampe ajrak, la città di Barmer, nel Rajasthan occidentale, si trova a 153 km da Jaisalmer. Precedentemente conosciuto come Mallani, l’attuale nome di Barmer è stato dato dal suo fondatore Bahada Rao, popolarmente noto come Bar Rao, che era un sovrano Parmar. Barmer cattura l’immaginazione di chiunque lo visiti e ha superato con successo la prova del tempo e delle circostanze.

Sawai Madhopur : –

Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park  is in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. This biodiverse park is known for its large population of royal Bengal tigers, especially in the central Tala zone. Other animals include white tigers, leopards and deer. The mix of tropical forest, Sal trees and grassland is home to scores of bird species, including eagles. To the south are the remains of the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort.

The Bandhavgarh Fort is situated in Bandhavgarh in Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located on the Bandhavgarh hill, rising 811 meters above sea level at the centre of the Bandhavgarh National Park. It is surrounded by a large number of smaller hills separated by gently sloping valleys. These valleys end in small, swampy meadows, locally known as ‘bohera’. The fort is also home to many of the endangered species of Vulture in India

Various dynasties have ruled the fort: for example, Mauryans from the 3rd century BC, Vakataka rulers from the 3rd-5th century, Sengars from the 5th century, and the Kalachuris from 10th century. In the 13th century, the Baghels took over, ruling from Bandhavgarh until 1617, when Maharaja Vikramaditya Singh moved his capital to Rewa. The last inhabitants deserted the fort in 1935.

Throughout the tour of Bandhavgarh fort, wildlife such as tigers, cubs, and deer can be seen. In addition, many rare species of birds like Malabar pied hornbill, falcons, 4 species of vultures, and tortoises swimming can also be seen. At some point one can also see vulture nests from above. The hilltop is considered best for photography of flying birds due to the advantage of being positioned at the top. This makes the Bandhavgarh fort a worthwhile addition to a Bandhavgarh National Park wildlife tour.

Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the wild life sanctuaries in the Indian state Madhya Pradesh. The national park is situated at 197 km away north-east of Jabalpur. This wild life park derived its very name from an ancient fort in the area. Bandhawgarh National Park belongs to the Vindhyan mountain ranges of central India and it boasts to have the highest density of tiger population in the country. Now there are about 46 to 52 tigers one can spot here.

The Elusive White Tiger

The forests of Bandhavgarh are the white tiger jungles of the yesteryears. However, no white tigers have been reported from the wild in the last 50 years, and it is believed that less than a dozen have been seen in India in about a hundred years. And yet when white tigers were sighted, it was right here in Bandhavgarh.

Once a hunting reserve of the royal family of Rewa in more  recent times, Bandhavgarh was declared a park in 1968. This is also the site where the famous  WHITE TIGERS of Rewa were discovered.

Wandering through the Bandhavgarh national park on an Elephant Back, the chances of seeing a tiger are quite good. Among the other wild attractions include, Nilgai, Chausingha, Chital, Chinkara, Wild Boar and sometimes a Fox or Jackal.

In the Bandhavgarh National Park the visitors can be entered on elephant back apart from the four wheelers

Kathputli – The Puppet Dance Show Of Rajasthan

The puppets in Rajasthan are one of the popular sources of entertainment in the state. The art of puppetry is practiced by a community of agricultural laborers of Rajasthan. Known as the Bhats, these people have been associated with Rajasthani string puppetry to carry forward their traditional occupation. Though they belong, originally, to the Nagaur area in the Marwar region, they travel all through the countryside to exhibit their skills. Also known by the name of the “kathputliwalas”, they usually perform the puppet shows during the late evenings.

In the puppet shows of Rajasthan there are a number of wooden dummy dolls that are dressed up in bright and color attires. These puppets are attached with strings that the puppeteer uses to move them around. A miniature stage is set up with the help of a cot that is laid by length. The puppeteer tacks his puppets over a rope joined to the upper legs of the cots. The cots are covered with sheets in order to conceal the puppeteer from the view of the public. He moves the jointed limbs of the puppets with the help of strings attached to each of them.

Loud beats on the dholak (a kind of drum) announce the starting of the puppet show. Throughout the show, there is hooting and whistling by the puppeteers. Each of the puppet shows of Rajasthan has a theme different from the other. One of the most popular themes is that of the dialogues of Amar Singh Rathore of Nagaur. The plays are usually narrated by the female members of the troupe. The narration is accompanied with appropriate songs and beats on the drums that are in perfect harmony with the movements of the puppets. The shows, usually lasting one hour, are enjoyed by people belonging to all the age groups.

According to a legend, Raja Vikramaditya of Ujjain was frightfully fond of puppets. His throne was chiselled with thirty two beautiful dolls. The first play was of thirty two puppets which portrayed the life and accomplishments of Vikramaditya. The successors of the man, who initially demonstrated the play, performed a few shows for the later royal families in this manner picking up much acknowledgment and laud.

A long time after Prithviraj Chauhan was so amazed by this workmanship that he asked the Bhats to show a play on his accomplishments. The Bhats made a play on the brave deeds of Amar Singh Rathod of Nagaur additionally. The Mughal period brought a downfall for this art form as it was somehow against the Islamic beliefs. The puppet artists in the Mughal period faced loss of recognition as they were not entertained by the Mughal royal families.
