Devraja Market Walk
For a visitor to this city, Devaraja market is the best way to get acquainted with the soul of the city. It is a place to get the flavour of the local life and with more than 100 years of history, this market is a part of the illustrious history of Mysore. The market today is busy, noisy, colourful and for a first time visitor, bordering almost on chaotic. There are no guide books on how best to navigate the market but with our experienced local guides you can be assured it will be an absolute thrilling and fun experience.
As you stroll through the many lanes, you pass traders selling fruits, vegetables, bangles, flower garlands, spices and conical piles of kumkum (coloured powder used for bindi dots), incense, household items and everything in-between. The wafting sweet smell of flowers, the heady aroma of ripe fruits mixed with the smoky sandlewood incense smoke, the bright saris of local women, the colourful variety of flowers and mutli hued bangles all make for some great photo opportunities. And of course, be sure to practice your bargaining skills before shopping.
Staying with the locals at their humble abode is an experience that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Such is the hospitality of the people of rural Rajasthan who believe in making the most out of whatever little they have. And at the end of the day, as the sun goes down in all its glory, the villages’ folklore will mesmerize you like you never could have imagined!

“I spent an entire evening at the Samode village singing and dancing with the locals in their colourful traditional attire. I even tried the Chari dance with a pot on my head. Yes, a definite must try for everyone!”
Rural Rajasthan
Bright, traditional, rustic yet soulful – that is rural Rajasthan for you! Considering the chaotic and busy lives we live, visiting the interiors of the state will make you realize how meditatively beautiful life is beyond the hustle bustle of the cities.
While the desert state is considered a perfect embodiment of richness and royalty, it also offers a much humble sight of a Persian wheel irrigating the lush fields in its rural areas. A group of traditionally dressed women, carrying clay pots on their heads, walking down the dust roads and turban-clad men with majestic mustaches sweating it out in the fields, is a common sight that you will see as you drive through the state. And they do it so effortlessly without any trace of discomfort that, it will not just inspire you but will make you appreciate the simplistic beauty of life.
