Rajasthan is all about ‘maan-maryada’ (respect), values and traditions and veil (ghoonghat or ghunghta) is a perpetual part of Rajasthani bride’s persona. Trust her to shy from the males of the family.
- The Spicy Mouth-watering Rajasthani Thali
From ghee-covered Batis (wheat balls) to awesome ‘kadhi’ (curry), Masala dal (lentils), choorma (sweets) and spicy ‘gatte ki sabji’ (red curry) that sets your mouth on fire, Rajasthani brides are expert cooks. They bring in the authentic tastes of the herbs (especially red chilli, asafoetida and all-spice) from the deserts to your platter.

To Rajasthani women, presentation and public appearances matters the most. Their outfits are embellished with creative, cultural patterns (all those Lahariyas, Bandhej & Gota Patti work is a marvel). Also, Rajasthan’s ‘kundan’ work in jewellery is famous all over the world. Rest assured, your daughter-in-law will be a sight to behold at public gatherings when she dresses in her Rajasthani attire.
It’s a plus point for the sisters-in-law as they can borrow colourful stuff from her wardrobe.

The best thing about Rajasthan is that natives believe in sharing joys with everyone around them. Trust your Rajasthani bride to gift you goodies on festivals and special occasions. Since Rajasthan is the land of glittering gems, don’t be surprised if she charms you with a flamboyant ‘naulakha haar’ (diamond necklace).

We know it’s not easy being a housewife, a scholar and a professional, all at the same time. Trust us when we say this that your daughter-in-law is a performer in all fields. The fact is evident from the fact that Rajasthan has produced female extraordinaire like Vasundhara Raje, Chanda Kochhar, Meira Kumar, Gulabo and Chitrangada Singh: women that excel in their respective fields.

Being in desert eventually sharpens your skills. Count on Rajasthani girls to master the art of house management. They’re great in kitchen and everyday work. With a Rajasthani bride in house, you don’t have to toil anymore. We’re sure she’ll take the burden off from your shoulders.
We believe you’re somewhat convinced with our reasoning. So, the next time when your son comes and confesses that he’s in love with a Rajasthani girl, don’t hesitate to approve his choice. You’ll be the luckiest mother-in-law.
Happy Women’s Day to all the Rajasthani girls around the world!
