Conjuring up images of a Desert state, it is a place no one would think of Palaces shimmering of idyllic lakes; or emerging in its blazing heat, temples and forts of stunning artistry carved from stone that is honey or rose, marble - white or sand stone - red; nor would anyone fill their mind with painted streets where pageantry and color work out of life size frescos, producing crowds of brightly turbaned man with proud moustaches and woman whose beauty is lethal though, alas, veiled. But this is exactly what Desert state of Rajasthan is. The past flavor lingers on, and visitors can still ride painted and caparisoned elephants that recall the regalia of the Royal Courts or live in fantasy palaces hotels built by descendants of the Sun and the Moon
