PICTURE OF MY HOUSE IN BIDASAR Few years back I went to Bidasar with my family in Puja Vacations. It’s a very small village in Rajasthan. I liked the village because there is plenty of open space- countryside and gardens, not much traffic is there, cleaner air and more attractive scenery. There I took camel & horse ride. I visited my ancestral temple. In spite of being a small village, it has many places to visit like temples, sanctuary etc. PICTURE OF MY HOUSE IN BIDASAR Though the village has limited supply of electricity & water, one will like to stay there because of the aforesaid advantages. As I went in the month of October, the weather was nice & at that time a good variety of vegetables come. I use to have the traditional food there. In spite of being accustomed with the priviliges of a city, I would like to visit the village every year during my vacations with my family because I liked the pollution free environment & the traditions there.
