THE PERFORMING ATRS OF RAJASTHAN: A HANDBOOK
This volume provides an overview of the immense variety and classical genealogy of the performing arts of Rajasthan and Jaipur. Because of its relative isolation, Rajasthan has not been subjected to the inundations of global popular culture to the same degree as other regions of India. It has been able to nurture and sustain traditional culture, all the while assimilating outside cultural forces without detriment to its own cultural inheritance. This volume delves into the myriad traditional musical and other performing arts which exist in Rajasthan and Jaipur. Performing Arts of Rajasthan was written by Vijay Verma in 2004 to celebrate the Jaipur Heritage International festival
