Bhadrajun Fort and Palace Residence
VegTV is in the North of India to visit the princely state of Rajasthan. We are guests of the Raja and Maharani of Bhadrajun and explore the timeless beauty of a regal and meticulously preserved past.

Ranakpur, Midieval Temple Archetecture
The brilliance of Rajasthan's rich heritage is reflected in a host of historic, artistic and architectural treasures found nowhere else on earth. Ranakpur, a Jain temple built in the 15th century, is stunningly beautiful and one of the five holiest sites of this Hindu sect.

Udaipur, Venice of the East
One of the most romantic cities in Rajasthan, Udaipur is also known as the city of lakes. The marble palaces, beautifully laid out gardens and seven manmade lakes make Udaipur seem almost like a mirage in the desert.

Rajasthan, Heart of India
Exotic, exhilarating and enigmatic, India is a land of contrasts. On our VegVoyages adventure, we stay in palaces, visit with princes and villagers, shepherds and priests; see magnificent temples, colorful bazaars, and stately hotels and eat our way across Rajasthan. YUM!!

Conservationist and Protector of Wildlife
The history of Bhadrajun dates back thousands of years and is even mentioned in the famous Indian epic, the Mahabharata. We are guests of the Raja, an avid conservationist, at his 16th century palace residence.

The Bishnoi, Desert Dwellers of Rajasthan
We visit a Bishnoi village. The Bishnois are self-sustaining and live much the same way they have for hundreds of years. For centuries the Bishnoi people have been protectors of wildlife and the environment and are feared by poachers who will be set upon and beaten by the Bishnoi.

Chef Ritu, Lake Pichola Hotel, Udaipur, India
India offers one of the most diverse vegetarian cuisines anywhere in the world. We explore Indian vegetarian Cookery, which has been cultivated and refined for over 5,000 years, with hotel chefs and home cooks.

Morning Yoga-Breathe and Laugh!
We practice yoga each morning with R.K. Singh, VegVoyages tour guide. R.K practices LAUGHING YOGA, and we end each session with a hearty belly laugh.

Bishnoi Hamlet, Stone ground Millet
Marie tries her hand at grinding millet in a traditional Bishnoi home. The villagers grow millet and grind it into flour to make chapati. These chapati, cooked and dipped in hot chile paste, are a mainstay of the Bishnoi diet.

Chari, Ceremonial Wedding Dance
North Indian Dance has evolved over centuries in the Indian desert. In the villages of Rajasthan, these hypnotic dances add color and brilliance to festivals, fairs and other celebrations. Chari, an amazing folk dance, is performed by women at wedding ceremonies with an arrangement of pots and a lighted lamp balanced on their heads.
