Architectural Heritage of Rajasthan
The mixture and brilliance of Rajasthan's architectural heritage can amaze a
visitor. Majestic forts, intricately carved temples and havelis (meaning mansion)
and even step well make Rajasthan a paradise for an architecture buff. The desert
state of Rajasthan is a land of irony and extremes.
This vibrant and striking region is the home of the Rajput warrior
clans who had ruled here for many years. Rajasthan is also home to some of
India's most romantic cities. The Rajputs were prolific builders and have
dotted the arid Aravali landscape with their legacy of some most imposing
and magnificent forts and palaces in the world.
Today the
structures defy time to tell the story of gallantry, courage and tragedy of
the bygone era and its story of survival in the harsh Thar Desert.

Hello
Durjay,
I'm back at home and at work. The flight home was quite
an ordeal! First a ten-hour delay in Delhi, then a 20-hour flight to
Toronto, then a second overnight delay in Toronto before my flight to
Chicago. To top it all off, the bus I took from Chicago to Milwaukee got in
an accident on the way home. So I arrived home on Sunday afternoon instead
of Saturday at 8 a.m. as planned. But there was an empty seat next to me on
the Delhi-Toronto flight, so I got plenty of sleep. And I'm happy to be home
safe.
