of living.
The beauty of desert dwellers has always been a legend. You will encounter strikingly
beautiful young women and handsome men attired in cololurful dresses in the
fairs and festivals of the state. The secret of this enchanting beauty lies
in the homemade cosmetic - Ubatan.

by mixing the flour of barley, turmeric powder, mustard oil and water. This
paste is prepared in various ways to make the skin fair and to nourish it from
within.
Earlier it was customary to make special cosmetics for ladies of high rank and
social classes, by adding sandalwood powder, yoghutt, milk cream and essence
of flowers. On the occasion of social and religious festivals, preparation of
Ubatan itself is a fairly enjoyable task for ladies in Rajasthan.
Various ingredients were added like petals of rose and jasmine, saffron, sandalwood,
Khus-Khus, drop of lemon juice and other herbs to get a unique beautifying lotion.
It helps to improve and tighten sagging skin and keeps the skin glowing for
a long time. The paste is applied to the whole body for 15 to 20 minutes and
taking a bath is compulsory after that.
