Art and craft, Jaisalmer Rajasthan In a harsh and barren land, Jaisalmer gets its vibrancy from colour. Brilliant reds, blues, yellows and oranges contrasted with startling greens, purples and pinks are worn by men and women, changing the monotony of sand into a riot of colours. The rulers and wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer employed a good number of artisans and craftsmen in various karkhanas and workshops in medieval times. Stone carving, textiles, printing, silverware and wood and metalwork of a sophisticated quality were all produced for the pleasure of the elite. The patrons have long vanished and today the craft survives mostly linked to the rural needs but also because some of it has found its place in the urban market. In Jaisalmer, crafts remain closely linked with the ecology of the desert. Creativity has touched even the simplest and most functional objects. Two things strike you in Jaisalmer, the colour and richness of garments worn both by men and women and th...

The history of Andaman & Nicobar Islands can be found in the decennial Census Reports, Louis 1912, Bonnington 1932 and other published works like those Klauss 1903 and Whitehead 1924. The first reliable historic reference to these islands is in the writings of Chinese Buddhist monk, I' Tsing, made in 627 AD, who described these islands as "The land of the naked people". Later, mention of these islands is found in the collections of early Arab notes of the 9th century of India and China where the people of Andaman have been called "Angamainans" and the people of Nicobar have been called "Lankabalus". The ancient Arab mariners mentioned that they bartered ambergris and coconut for iron. In the earliest Hindu mythology, the "Ramayana", the Andaman Islands were believed to be a land of "Hanuman". The Malayans used to refer to them as "Hanuman" and from Malaya, the knowledge of Andaman first spread to the different parts ...

From Leh, travellers can head in several directions. North is the Nubra valley, with its crystal clear rivers, remote villages and miles of empty horizon to explore. Southeast is the famous Hemis monastery, with Thiksey and Shey gompas on the way; while the road southwest leads to Lamayuru, with Alchi, Phyang and Basgo en route. To the southwest is the district of Zanskar, even more remote and hard to traverse than Leh and its surroundings. A drive southeast from Leh, on the Leh-Manali highway that runs more or less parallel to the Indus river, leads to two of the region's most celebrated monasteries, Thiksey and Hemis. Before either of these, however, come the two small villages of Stok and Shey, both with a palace and monastery each. Stok and Shey are both about 15 kms from Leh, on the western and eastern banks of the Indus respectively. In 1834, when Leh was annexed by the armies of Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu, the royal Namgyal family abandoned the Leh Palace and move...

Perched at 1,829 m above sea level in Almora district, the hill-station is s...
