From Heritage to Modernity: Evolution of Traditional Forms in Rajasthan

Abstract

Rajasthan, also referred to as the "Land of Kings," is a tribute to India's rich cultural tapestry. This study paper travels through time to investigate the transformation of traditional forms in Rajasthan against the background of changing social, cultural, and technical settings. This progression, which includes architecture, music, dance, crafts, and clothing, demonstrates both the durability of Rajasthan's tradition and its ability to adapt and survive in the contemporary world. This paper underscores the importance of preserving these traditions while encouraging innovation via an examination of historical foundations and modern developments. The preservation of Rajasthan's traditional forms not only acknowledges the past but also preserves their relevance in the current and future global context.
