Rajasthan is the country of Rajputs. Once, it was known as Rajputana. Its skies are filled with Bhajans (songs) of Meerabai and stories of heroism and valour of Rajput heroes in the skies of Rajasthan. The resistance put up by Rajput kings to the Muslim invasions with their warfare and chivalry for centuries is well-known. There are palaces after palaces in the whole of Rajasthan, created by different Ranas, and they are extreme examples of mastery of architecture and sculpture. Similarly, the forts of Rajasthan are the haven of dreamland. The most attractive places for tourists are Pink City Jaipur, Lakes and Palaces of Udaipur, Museum Town of Shekhawati, Golden Fort of Jaisalmer, Poems on Marble in Dilwara and Ranakpur near Mt. Abu, Sights of heroism and valour in Chittorgarh, and three National parks of Ranathamvor, Sariska and Keoladeo. In 1956, Ajmer, Marwar and 22 princely states combined and established Rajasthan, the most significant state of India. Until 1970, these princely state kings got financial help from the Indian Government, which was abolished. The kings converted their palaces into museums and hotels to cope with the economic crisis. Another treasure of Rajasthan is the Marble of Makrana, which was used to create the Taj Mahal of Agra and the Victoria Memorial of Kolkata.
