What is unique is the fact that its history still lives and mingles with the present in the form of the several Palaces, havelis, heritage hotels, traditions, culture, festivities, customs etc. With increasing flow of tourists generated by the curiosity and interest to know the past of humankind; conscious efforts have been made to preserve historical data, manuscripts, coins, scrolls etc which are the markers of the period that a region might have gone through before attaining its present formation.
