How did Rajasthan shape Swami Vivekananda’s spiritual journey?

Rajasthan played a crucial role in Swami Vivekananda’s life and spiritual journey. During his 1891 visit, he stayed in Alwar, meditated at Mount Abu, and formed a lifelong bond with Khetri Maharaja Ajit Singh, who named him Vivekananda and sponsored his historic 1893 Chicago visit, helping him take India’s spiritual message to the world.
