Description

Tea Shop Cafe for Travelers India Rajasthan.
While driving by in the vast countryside in Rajasthan, India, we came across this charming tea stall or cafe. Hot tea and snacks are available for weary travelers. Also cool potted water, a scarce commodity in this arid desert region of the country. Customers and passers-by can relax here for a while, sitting on the rope-cot laid out in the open air outside, sipping a hot cup of tchai tea and enjoying a crisp fried snack to go with it. Tea drinking is a favourite pastime of people in North India. These little roadside restaurants are known as dhabas.
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[3] � was merged into the Dominion of India. Its capital and largest city is Jaipur, located on the state's eastern side.
