Connecting Rajasthani Heritage with the Canadian Spirit

Founded in 2007, the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) is a non-profit organization uniting the Rajasthani community across Canada. We promote Rajasthanโ€™s rich culture, art, and values while embracing the diversity and inclusiveness of Canadian life. Through cultural events, social programs, and support for new immigrants, RANA continues to strengthen community bonds and preserve the legacy of Rajasthan abroad.

Discover the Timeless Grandeur of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the largest state of India, lies in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent โ€” a land where history, valor, and culture live in perfect harmony. Known as the Land of Kings (โ€œRajโ€ meaning King, โ€œSthanโ€ meaning Land), Rajasthanโ€™s heritage dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization. From majestic forts and royal palaces to vibrant festivals and folk traditions, every corner of this land tells a story of courage, dignity, and artistic brilliance. On March 30, 1949, Rajasthan was officially formed through the unification of princely states under the guidance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Today, its timeless charm continues to inspire people around the world.

A Fort Reimagined in the Sands of Time โœจ

Suryagarh, Jaisalmer, inaugurated in 2010, is not an ancient palace but a modern luxury boutique hotel crafted to resemble a historic Rajasthani fortress. Built in the heart of the Thar Desert by Manvendra Singh Shekhawat, it beautifully reflects the regionโ€™s rich heritage using local yellow sandstone and the skills of traditional artisans โ€” creating a โ€œnewโ€ fort with an old-world soul.

With its massive walls, intricate carvings, grand courtyards, and arched gateways inspired by the 860-year-old Jaisalmer Fort, Suryagarh blends Rajput architecture with contemporary luxury. Designed as a cultural hub, it offers immersive desert experiences while celebrating local craftsmanship.

Though modern in structure, it stands close to historic gems like Kuldhara Village and Amar Sagar โ€” making every stay feel like a journey through Rajasthanโ€™s timeless legacy.
