A
traditional Rajasthani rural house has minimal modern essentials. All
members of the family are busy in the farms the whole day. Still the
mealtime is a ceremony. Curries, chutneys
(grounded vegetable paste), rotis (Indian
homemade bread of wheat, maize or millets), buttermilk,
ghee (clarified butter) and other assortments make it an ideal
meal for a Rajasthani rural family.

Coupled with it is the serene rural setting with farms all around, cattle
being fed, a well, huts and trees. The food is prepared over firewood
by the housewives and all the ingredients are grown in the village which
makes the food 100% original and chemical-free.
The simple yet satisfying meals are taken together by the family where
the men eat first and women feed them. The meal is given utmost respect
and leaving anything uneaten over the dish is considered disrespect.
A stranger or a guest in such families is greeted and treated with much
warmth. The best available at home is served to them. Before the meal,
the guest is introduced to all members of the family. He is then taken
to visit their farms, granary, barns, cattle and the village. At the
mealtime the guest is supposed to remove his shoes and wash hands and
feet thoroughly. After the meal, the guest is free to laze over the
wooden charpoy under millions of crystal stars while blowing the water
pipe. The complete calm & peace of the starlit night is broken only
by the occasional movements of the cattle under the cattle-shed or by
the whistling of the insects in the nearby bushes. A complete contrast
to what the guest experiences otherwise in his hectic lifestyle. A ceremony
full of simple things in life.
Network takes its guest to one such rural family in Rajasthan. An experience
for which nothing can be called created or touristy. Everything stands
100% original.
