Rajasthan’s Cultural Heritage
More info :- http://www.visittnt.com
The literal meaning of the word ‘Rajasthan’ or ‘Rajisthan’ is ‘Rajdhani’ i.e. the
capital. It was in 1829 that Col. James Tod in his monumental work The Annals and
Antiquities of Rajasthan first extended the denotation of the term to include the
entire state. Before independence, Rajasthan comprised twenty-one principalities
and two self governing feudal houses with Ajmer-Merwara – a British domain
situated in the Center. Among the twenty-one States were Udaipur, Dungarpur,
Banswara, Pratapgarh, Shahpura, Bundi, Kota, Sirohi, Karoli, Jaisalmer, Jaipur,
Alwar, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Kishangarh, Jhalawar, Datan, Bharatpur, Dholpur, Tonk
and Palanpur. The feudal houses were Kushalgarh and Lava, of these, Datan and
Palanpur were amalgamated in Gujarat while the rest formed the modern state of
Rajasthan.

Forts and Palaces
The forts of Rajasthan are amongst the foremost in
the country, incorporating the special features
elaborated in ancient texts on construction of forts.
Thus there are the ‘Kavsees’ and ‘Jeev rakha’ that
have the advantages of both sentinel towers or
bases and embrasures. Noteworthy among the
rock fortresses, ‘Giri Durg’ of Rajasthan is
Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Ranthambore, Siwana,
Jalore, Mehrangarh (Jodhpur), Taragarh, Aamer,
Rajgarh, Dausa and Kuchaman. Outstanding
among the ‘Jal Durgs’ (i.e. forts erected in water) is
Gagron fort near Jhalawar, built on the confluence
of the rivers Ahu and Kali Singh. Besides these,
there are some well-known forts constructed in
level plains, like the forts of Jaisalmer, Junagarh
(Bikaner), Nagaur and Chomu. It is not only the
architecture beauty, the imposing structure and
reputed invincibility of the forts, but also the
legends of chivalry associated with them that
attract the tourist.
