Life Style Fun Food & Drink Places
Rajasthani folk has a place in all our hearts! The glittery dresses, graceful moves and hearty smiles, you will see it all in folk performances in Kishanpur!
Fun Fact - Camels have an uncommon stride, resulting from walking by using the legs on the same side of their body at the same time (giraffes walk like this, too), which creates a swaying motion that can make riders feel seasick. Now you know why riding a Camel is not a cakewalk, literally! Do give it a try when you are out there!
Ghagra (Long multi pleated skirt), Kurti, and Odhni are the essentials for any Rajasthani woman who chooses to don traditional wear. Kishanpur being a small town is replete with such women making it a town full of colourful people.
Have you ever tried putting on a Pagdi (Head dress), the pride of Rajasthani Men. It protects your head from the Sun’s heat and keeps you from dehydrating together with making you look super cool!
They say a deer can jump upto 10 ft high. That is the height of a typical living room's ceiling. Let us see how high the deer jump for you when you are out there in the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary just an hour away from Kishanpur.
Imagine yourself stranded in the middle of thousands of artefacts, weapons, ornaments and costumes depicting the grandeur of the Rajasthani royals of the bygone era. Feeling the thrill! Alwar city museum can take you on a thrilling ride to Alwar's rich past. And it is just a 30 min drive from Kishanpur.
Imagine a sumptuous Ghee soaked baati! Won’t you love to gorge on it together with some delicious daal? Now imagine 10 such baatis. Do you still think you can finish them all? Can you win the bet!? Try it out!
Do you know laal maas was once made with wild game meat, such as deer or boar, and chillies were used to mask the gamy odour. It was a favourite among the royalties. While the spicy flavour remains, the meat used now is tender mutton.
Samosa and Kachori. These two words are enough to take anybody’s taste buds on a joy ride! Combine this with some hot mirchi pakodas and you have the perfect street food experience!
Jalebi has its origin in Persia where it was called Zolbia! It was brought to India by Persian speaking Turkic invaders. We have two words for the invaders - Thank you!
During the Agyatvas, Bhima, the second son of Pandu from the Epic, Mahabharata, made a door in the mountain with just one blow of his Mace. That door was then called ‘Pandupol’. This is also the place where Lord Hanuman, disguised as an old weak monkey (Vaanar) taught Bhima a lesson on humility.
Air conditioning is not a copyright of the modern generation. Other than being an alternative water source, the City Palace water tank was a means to cool air that went into the Palace so that the King could have a peaceful sleep!
Raja Vinay Singh built this splendid monument, a graceful brown Karauli Sandstone Structure with white marble canopies, in the memory of his father Raja Bakhtawar’s mistress Rani Moosi, who was accepted as the King’s wife after she performed Sati. Interesting story, right!?
