The land of maharajas
Rajasthan, also referred to by terms like Rajwarra, Raethan and Rajputana in the past, is synonymous in popular perception as the land of rajas and maharajas, chivalry, forts and palaces, the fabled Great Indian Desert or the Thar desert, hardly folk and a treasure-trove of ancient lore, music, dance ballads and myths.
A History of Rajasthan uses various archival, epigraphical, numismatical, architectural, archaeological, and art history related information as well as traditional narratives and oral and written chronicles, to provide a general overview of aspects like literature, religion, art and architecture, position of women, socio-economic conditions, science and technology as well as the subaltern, people oriented, `everyday' life of the average citizen.
