In Rajasthan

by Royina Grewal

Published 1 February 1997
Discussing folk music, architecture, feudal traditions and regional cuisine, Royina Grewal seeks to take the reader behind the exotic facade of this Indian state. She focuses primarily upon people; from the maharajahs to camel trainers and from a female Marxist leader to itinerant snake charmers. This guide does not dwell upon the historical past of Rajasthan, but rather explores the future of a region in transition.
