Music and Dance

Folk music and dance are integral to Rajasthani culture. The state boasts a variety of traditional musical instruments like the dholak, harmonium, and sarangi. Rajasthani folk dances like Ghoomar, Kalbelia, and Kathputli are a visual treat, often performed during festivals and special occasions.

Cuisine

Rajasthani cuisine is known for its distinctive flavors and the use of aromatic spices. Dal Baati Churma, Gatte ki Sabzi, and Laal Maas are some of the iconic dishes. Rajasthani cuisine is traditionally vegetarian due to the arid climate, but non-vegetarian options are also available.

Diwali, Holi, and Eid are celebrated with fervor, but the state is especially known for its unique festivals like Pushkar Camel Fair and Teej. These festivals showcase Rajasthani traditions, with folk music, dance, and cultural events.
