warfare would not have been possible without detailed
planning, especially in this desert region where all
supplies had to be carried when the armies came to pitch
camp where the battle lines were drawn. From the repertoire
of this experience were drawn the state processions,
inter-kingdom journeys and royal pilgrimages when the
families came out of their fortified settlements to
create alternate, moving cities. Of this rich past were
safaris created.
A safari is journey into the desert, but one that is
accompanied with rudimentary comforts, and even luxurious
amenities. As each journey progresses, there is the
excitement of setting camp at a new spot in the lonely
wilderness of the Thar, of being entertained by groups
of wandering minstrels, of coming in proximity of village
life in one of the harshest conditions of the world,
of enjoying splendid camp meals and sleeping under the
stars that hang suspended from the sky like twinkling
fairy lights.
