Even today, the city is famous for holding the same old pride and preserving the rich culture heritage of the country. It lies in the north of Rajasthan on a little elevated ground.

Bon OK! l'adoration des rats est quand même très spécial, mais en Inde rien n'est impossible ! Attendez-vous à avoir donc des rats sur vos pieds (déchaussés bien sur!!!) lors de votre visite!
