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. 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.
