Rajasthan – the land of Indian Kings, the Taj Mahal and the Scrolls of Destiny

This journey combined the beauty of the Venice of India, the history of the castles of Rajasthan and the weightless architecture of the Taj Mahal

This time we have also added to the program a consultation with Master Brigu Shastri, hereditary astrologer Pandit Udai Lal.

The village of Karoi (Thar Desert in the state of Rajasthan) holds the Scrolls of Destiny or Palm Leaves on which are written the predictions of the fate of all the people of the earth. They were written down 5000 years ago by Bhrigu Muni, the founder of the Indian astrological system of Jyotish Bhrigu Muni

This journey is a time to recognize your Destiny and feel the solid ground of your own path beneath your feet.

Rajasthan is a special state in India, the same “India of childhood,” from Oriental fairy tales, which beckoned us all for many years. Literally, the name of the state means “Land of the Rajas” – influential people – kings, princes. There are countless palaces, forts, and havelis (buildings with paintings and beautiful stone carvings) in Rajasthan, immersing us in the times of the Rajas.

Rajasthan is not only an open-air museum and architectural masterpieces of the past. This land is very real, very much alive. Why is there joy and a sense of intoxicating freedom?

Perhaps they are born of the timeless and somewhat sad sounds of the ravanahatha strings, played on a red sunset by a mustachioed wanderer in a turban and earrings in his ears?

Or are the descendants of the Gypsies still able to make us feel this very “present moment” with their dizzying and passionate dance in action rather than in words?

We will finish our Oriental fairy tale in the legendary Taj Mahal, one of the 7 wonders of the world!

On this journey, everyone will have the opportunity to feel like a raja or princess – because we will not stay overnight in simple hotels, but in real palaces, where the raja lived! (in some places). We will spend several days and nights in the legendary hotel known worldwide as “Marigold Hotel – The Best of the Exotic”. The series of the same name starring Richard Gere was filmed here. Here too we will be treated to a professional photo and video shoot in Indian costumes, horseback riding and meeting the owners of the hotel.

To truly immerse yourself in Indian culture, we have included workshops on cooking traditional Rajasthani food and drinks, painting Rajasthani miniatures, putting on saris for women and turbans for men, and a lesson in horseback riding.

We will also participate in a puja (Hindu religious service) for the well-being and health of all the participants of the trip.
