The colors of the cities, turbans, and saris shine in contrast with the splendor of the Thar Desert Each city is a namesake for the colors symbolized within. From the pink city of Jaipur, named for its pink palaces and its swarming bazaars on the street; through the blue city of Jodhpur, named for the vibrant blue houses of the old city that still stand out from its more contemporary surroundings; to the golden city of Jaisalmer, they all share a history of folk music and traditional dance that are integral facets of Rajasthani culture. There is a strong connection among the people inhabiting the Thar Desert: the musicians, singers, and the nomads. While it means land of the kings, it is also a land of the nomadic roots, as it was historically connected to the Silk Route, a network of trade that connected the Western and Eastern worlds. People from all over the world arrived to this land following the camel caravans. Such a movement of people has given rise to rich musical and artistic traditions. Rhythm of the Thar takes its audience on a journey through the majestic cities that have sprouted up among the sprawl of the vast desert. It is a region rich in its heritage, full of ancient colorful and architecturally striking monuments and palaces. You will meet the inhabitants of Rajasthan that live simple lives that all share the common thread of the musical culture that precedes them by generations but they continue to perpetuate. See less
