For anyone who has been fascinated by the regal splendour of Rajasthan, this book is a must-buy. From details about the princely pastime of shikar to a visual tour of the gorgeous Shekhawati homes, Royal Rajasthan encapsulates the essence of a state steeped in traditions of art, architecture and commerce. The reader is transported into the interiors of breathtaking palaces and forts that have now been converted into heritage hotels, and into the polo grounds where the royals showed off their mastery over this sport. Whats more, this brilliantly conceptualised book also contains stunning aerial photographs of Rajasthan and rare archival images from the private collections of princely states that add a hitherto undreamt of dimension to the narrative.
