Description
Cows Fight Street Duel India Rajasthan.
While driving down the vast countryside in rural Rajasthan, India, we stopped at a dhaba or roadside restaurant for lunch and a cup of tea. On that deserted stretch of road, a few cows were hanging around, wandering around aimlessly, in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. And then quite suddenly, the mood changed a 180 degrees, and two of the cows treated us to a sudden and intriguing action scene. A face to face, horns to horns knock-out duel, no less! We were fascinated and speechless! It lasted a minute or two, and then, as suddenly as it had started, it was all over bar the shouting! Wow, what a treat!
Rajasthan literally, "Land of Kings" or "Land of Kingdoms"), is India's largest state by area (342,239 square kilometres (132,139 sq mi) or 10.4% of India's total area). Rajasthan's economy is primarily agricultural and pastoral. Wheat and barley are cultivated over large areas, as are pulses, sugarcane, and oilseeds. Cotton and tobacco are the state's cash crops. Rajasthan is among the largest producers of edible oils in India and the second largest producer of oilseeds. Rajasthan is also the biggest wool-producing state in India and the main opium producer and consumer. There are mainly two crop seasons. The water for irrigation comes from wells and tanks. The Indira Gandhi Canal irrigates northwestern Rajasthan.
The state of Rajasthan is located on the western side of the country, where it comprises most of the wide and inhospitable Thar Desert (also known as the "Rajasthan Desert" and "Great Indian Desert") and shares a border with Pakistan along the Sutlej-Indus river valley. Elsewhere it is bordered by other Indian states: Gujarat to the southwest; Madhya Pradesh to the southeast; Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to the northeast; and Punjab to the north. Its features include the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization at Kalibanga; the Dilwara Temples, a Jain pilgrimage site at Rajasthan's only hill station, Mount Abu, in the ancient Aravalli mountain range; and, in eastern Rajasthan, the Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur, a World Heritage Site known for its bird life. Rajasthan is also home to two national tiger reserves, the Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur and Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar.
The state was formed on 30 March 1949 when Rajputana (the name adopted by the British Raj for its dependencies in the region) was merged into the Dominion of India. Its capital and largest city is Jaipur, located on the state's eastern side.
