Its rich cultural heritage has
produced some of the finest artistes of
international repute... the celebrated
sitar maestro
Pandit Ravi Shankar, the
Grammy
winner Pandit Vishwamohan Bhatt, the
Dhrupad singers - Dagar Brothers, the legendary
oriental dancer Uday Shankar and the noted
ghazal singer
Jagjit Singh, to name a few.
Rajasthani women have been
renowned for their grace and beauty. Alauddin
Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi, was so smitten by the
beauty of the legendary Maharani Padmini Devi of
Chittaurgarh that he waged a war - in vain - for her
hand.
In her heydays, the present
day Rajmata of Jaipur, Maharani Gayatri Devi, was
considered by Vogue to be amongst the Ten Most
Beautiful Women in the World. And her charm hasn't
diminished one bit till today!
