Synopsis The book is illustrated with color plates, photographs taken by naturalists and conservators who have spent several occasions in the wilderness recording these events. This super book is not only a tribute to the natural wealth of Rajasthan but will also go a long way in helping those people for whom the country side holds so much enchantment. Rajasthan is already well known for its history and its magnificent forts and palaces, its ritual celebrations, its handicrafts, color, pomp and pageantry. Somewhat less known, thought equally well-documented in general books on wildlife, is the state's undeclared treasure of fauna and avifauna. The geographical variations in testate, with the Arrivals hills on the one hand, the open desert on the other, has provided a distinctive tapestry where wildlife abounds, preserved in a large number of sanctuaries and national parks, many of which started as hunting reserves for the former royal families of the state.
