Rajasthan Stories is culled from Kiplingâ€™s travelogue, Letters from Marque (1891). In these colourful accounts of the people, places and things of Rajasthan, Kipling plays a veteran tourist guide with an engrossing tale to tell about everyone and everything. He introduces us to the unique attractions of many cities that are en route like â€˜Jeypore (Jaipur), Amber, Jodhpur, Boondi, Udaipur, Chitor, â€˜Ajmirâ€™ (Ajmer), etc. These write-ups are hugely informative about the history, royal dynasties, art and architecture and even the customs and traditions of the ever popular tourist spots of Rajasthan.
