Culture of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the largest state in India, is known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant traditions, and historical significance.The Culture of Rajasthan which developed over the past millennia, is a blend of various elements, including music, dance, cuisine, festivals, art, and architecture.The Bhat community claims that their ancestors performed for royal families, receiving honor and prestige from the rulers of Rajasthan.[9][10] Rajasthani cuisine has been influenced by the warlike lifestyles of its inhabitants, the availability of ingredients in the arid region and by Hindu temple traditions of sampradayas like Pushtimarg and Ramanandi.Rajasthan is famous for textiles, semi-precious stones and handicrafts as well as for its traditional and colorful art which often features ballads.To attract investment for the revival of traditional arts and crafts as well as the promotion of cultural heritage, the first handicraft policy has been released in Rajasthan.[12] Rajasthan has a large number of raw materials namely marble, wood and leather to cash on the great potential for the development of handicrafts.While there are many Gupta and post-Gupta era temples in Rajasthan, after the 7th century, the architecture evolved into a new form called the Gurjara-Pratihara style.Sant Rajjab was a saint born in Rajasthan who became a disciple of Dadu Dayal and spread the philosophy of unity amongst Hindu and Muslim worshipers of God.
