● After two years of independence in 1949, this state emerged after the merging of 22 different Kingdoms and principalities.

These animals are decorated and many different kinds of activities like camel races, milking, breed competition, acrobatics, fur cutting, etc are organised and people from different parts of the world come to this place.

● Many UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Jantar Mantar, Keoladeo National Park and the Hill Forts of Rajasthan are also there.

● Bhangarh Fort is considered to be one of the scariest and ghostly places of the country and it is also in this state. People can visit this during the daylight but once the sun sets, they are not allowed to enter there.
