One day she has the opportunity to visit her Masi (Aunt), in Jaipur. With her Aunt and Uncle, Champa sets out to discover the beauty and colours of Rajasthan; its rich heritage and culture; and its legends and festivals. Much to her joy, she once again meets Gajra, her gypsy friend, and together the girls have the time of their lives on the sands of Rajasthan .
