Geography Rajasthan is the largest state of the Republic of India in terms of area (342,239 km²). It borders Pakistan to the west. The Aravalli Range is the major geographical feature of Rajasthan and runs from southwest to northeast for 850 km. Mount Abu, at the southwestern end of the range, is a prominent peak of the Aravalli. Aravalli divides Rajasthan into 60% in the northwest and 40% in the southeast. The northwest region is sandy and unproductive but improves gradually from desert land in the west to comparatively fertile land towards the east.

History Rajasthan has a colorful history making it one of the most popular tourist destinations. The state includes most of the erstwhile land of Rajputs called called Rajputana. "Rajput" means 'son of a king'. Those royal families rose to prominence in the 6th century. The Rajputs were the defendants to the Muslim incursions into India, though gradually became subservient to the Mughals (Delhi Sultanate). Rajputana came under the Marathas after General Sindhia captured Ajmer. The Rajput kings had to conclude treaties with the British in the early 19th century for local automony and protection from the Marathas. However, before treaties, the former independent kingdoms had created a rich cultural and architectural heritage through numerous marvelous forts and palaces, which show the Muslim and Jain influences.

Religion In this part of India, religion has played some role to add to the diversity. Hindusim accounting for 90% of the population in the state. And it created some local heroes, for whom later many monuments were erected. The prominent among them are: Ramdeoji, Pabuji, Mehaji, Gogaji, Tejaji, and Harbhuji.

Ballads, war songs, lullabies are very common. Even the illiterate people know it. Dholak, Sitar and Sarangi are the major music instruments in this land.
