Rajasthan, the scene of some of India’s most famous battles and infamous court intrigues, is home to mighty forts and ornate palaces that reveal the opulence and power of the Maharajas who ruled here for centuries. Adorned with distinctive fresco styles and intricate miniature paintings, Rajasthan’s palaces stand as an enduring legacy of some of India’s most flamboyant ruling dynasties.
