Rajasthan Diwas 2012

-

Rajasthan Diwas was celebrated on 30 March marking the unification of the erstwhile princely states in the region into the State of Rajasthan. Fifty-six years ago, on 30th March 1949, took place the grand unification of the erstwhile princely states of Rajputana giving birth to Rajasthan state in the Union of India. Since then, 30th March is celebrated as Rajasthan Diwas every year. The year 2005 marks a new beginning for these celebrations. With Rajasthan emerging as a frontrunner in tourism industry, Government of Rajasthan continues to add new attractions to its repertoire of festivals while bringing forth the vast range of Rajasthani Folk Art, Craft, Dance & Music.
Craft Bazaar showcasing the art forms, handicrafts, pottery styles, prints & textiles, embroideries, carpets, wood & metal work of different regions of Rajasthan promises to be a major attraction for visiting tourists as well as the residents in Rajasthan throughout the 10-day celebrations. Puppet shows and folk performances by Kalbelia, Manganiyars, Garasias, Sahariya, Bheels and other tribes every evening in Jawahar Kala Kendra have been planned as added attraction for the visitors to Craft Bazaar. Grand cultural shows and live concerts every evening in the ambience of majestic Albert Hall, Amer Fort and other equally eye-arresting venues have been planned to entertain people throughout the celebrations. A variety of programmes ranging performances, Ghazal Evening, Bollywood Celebrity Evening to Nritya Natika, Natya Sandhya etc.
Rajasthan Diwas is celebrated every year with an aim to showcase Rajasthan’s culture & heritage and revive the traditional sports, cuisines and folk-art. There have been 44 Padma Shri, 19 Padma Bhushan, 6 Padma Vibhushan awardees from Rajasthan till 2010. The mega festival would mark its beginning on 21st March with the lighting of Rajasthan Diwas flame at Albert Hall amidst cheering from a gathering comprising of VIPs & eminent persons besides the people of Rajasthan.

    Celebrating Rajasthan Diwas: A Tribute to Rajasthan’s Heritage

    I love how Rajasthan Diwas brings the vibrant culture, rich history, and diverse traditions of this royal state to the forefront! Rajasthan is such a unique blend of history, art, and architecture, and it’s wonderful to see a day dedicated to celebrating its contributions to India.

    During my recent trip to Rajasthan, I had the privilege of visiting Jaipur and Jodhpur, and I was in awe of the magnificent palaces, forts, and the lively spirit of the people. Rajasthan Diwas not only marks the formation of the state but also highlights the incredible art forms, music, and dance that make Rajasthan so special. It’s amazing to see events like cultural performances, folk dances, and traditional fairs during this day.

    One of my favorite experiences was attending a folk dance performance and tasting the delicious local cuisine, from dal baati churma to gatte ki sabzi. Rajasthan Diwas is a great reminder of the state’s grandeur and its vibrant identity. Thank you for sharing this post and bringing more attention to the celebration of such a rich heritage. Looking forward to more insights! 😊

Sustaining Renewable Energy

Sustaining Renewable Energy By Dr Arvind Kumar T he success, thus far, of fossil fuels in meeting energy demand any time required has led to a belief that whatever we want we can always have whenever we want it. This of course is leading to problems as it patently can no longer be maintained. It also has lead to the development of quite unrealistic expectations as to how far renewables can replace fossil fuels. Renewable energy is being tagged on to a massive existing demand led fossil fuelled energy system that has historically recorded tremendous growth. Efforts at demand reduction and increased efficiency have seemingly resulted in slight savings and these are often deferred by people opting for higher comfort levels. Viewed in a broad spectrum, almost all the renewable technology presently installed has only made us 96% fossil fuel dependent rather than 100%! This is a cause of worry as to the very extreme degree of energy descent that may be experienced as we move further in...

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment Plastic is like a common commodity which is essential in our daily lives. Bakelite, nylon and rubber are some examples of synthetic plastics. Almost everything is made of plastic! They are very convenient to use because of their malleability and plasticity. They can be easily moulded by heating. Plastic product may be non-toxic, but some small amounts of the chemicals remain trapped in the product. As a result, when these plastics come in contact with food stuffs, the chemicals mix with the food which we subsequently consume. Plastics are non-biodegradable solids. When we burnt, they release some toxic fumes which cause ozone depletion and pollution; many chemicals are released into the air as well as into water. All these bear hazardous environmental consequences. Plastics are made of crude oil and can be used as fuel. One litter of hydrocarbon is produced from one kilogram of plastic waste. Over 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year w...

Kisan Divas

Kisan Divas By Dr Arvind Kumar 23 December is celebrated as Kisan Divas or Farmers’ Day to commemorate the memory of Chaudhary Charan Singh, whose life reflected his peasantry background and he understood problems of the farmer and did his best to help them. The plight of farmers in India has been very miserable in present-day India and they have always been at the receiving end since Independence. Their hard toil fetches them nothing except fake assurances from the dispensations at the helm. It’s sad and unfortunate that people who are indispensable for the growth of nation have been left to their fate. This is quite evident from the suicide cases in Maharashtra, Andhra and other parts of the country including West Bengal. In state like UP middlemen and Mandi officials ensure that the farmers turn into object of grief. The need of the hour is implementation of schemes introduced by the government. This can take place effectively if the village panchayts are provided more powe...
