Rajasthan People

In olden days, the profession of the people decided their caste. This system has now been broken. Today, individuals have the freedom to opt for any profession irrespective of caste.

The profession based caste system has now been transformed into birth-based caste system. People of various castes and sub-castes reside in Rajasthan.

The Rajputs, who were the rulers of most of the erstwhile princely states of Rajasthan, form a major group of residents of Rajasthan.

Rajputs are generally stoutly built people of good height. The Rajputs generally worshipped the Sun, Shiva, and Vishnu. Vedic religion is still followed by the Rajputs.

All the auspicious and inauspicious activities are done in accordance to the Vedic traditions. The other castes found in Rajasthan are Brahmins and Vaishyas.

Flora and Fauna
The unique state of Rajasthan offers some of the most unusual wildlife sanctuaries in the country, where the roar of jungle animals merges with the whisperings of time.

The dry deciduous forests of the state stalk their wildlife from tigers and panthers to deer and wild bear. The rock formations of the Aravali hills and the surrounded dense forests and lakes are the natural habitat of a number of rare tree as well as animal species.
