This book from RBD Publication is a Hindi medium (हिन्दी माध्यम) title by Dr. Subhash Charan and Ramakant Sharma, covering Rajasthan Kala evam Sanskriti (राजस्थान कला एवं संस्कृति) — the art and culture section that carries substantial weightage in every RPSC and RSSB paper. It is part of the Chetak series, and this is the new edition for 2026, a fixed price edition.
The line on the cover that matters is 41 जिले, 7 संभाग. Art and culture questions in Rajasthan examinations are overwhelmingly location-linked — which fort, which painting school, which fair, which folk deity, which craft belongs to which district — and the state's administrative reorganisation made every older book unreliable on exactly that point. A compilation rebuilt around the current 41 districts and 7 divisions is the only kind that gives correct answers to the questions actually being set.
The book describes itself as a detailed and authentic compilation of art, architecture and traditions (कला, स्थापत्य एवं परंपराओं का एक विस्तृत और प्रामाणिक संग्रह), and authenticity is the right concern here. This is the section where wrong facts circulate most freely in coaching material — dates of temples, patrons of painting schools, names of folk instruments, the deity associated with a particular community — and a candidate who learns an error carries it into the examination. Coverage runs across forts, palaces and architectural styles, temples and their features, the painting schools and their characteristics, folk deities and saints and their sects, fairs and festivals, folk music and instruments, folk dance and drama forms, dress and ornaments, crafts and handicrafts, and the dialects and literature of Rajasthan. The whole book is written in Hindi in the Devanagari script.

आर.बी.डी. पब्लिकेशन द्वारा प्रकाशित डॉ. सुभाष चारण तथा रमाकांत शर्मा की 'चेतक — राजस्थान कला एवं संस्कृति' का यह नवीन संस्करण 2026 राजस्थान की सभी RPSC एवं RSSB परीक्षाओं में महत्त्वपूर्ण भारांक रखने वाले कला एवं संस्कृति खंड पर केंद्रित है। सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि यह 41 जिले एवं 7 संभाग के अनुसार तैयार किया गया है — इस खंड के अधिकांश प्रश्न स्थान-आधारित होते हैं (कौन-सा दुर्ग, चित्रशैली, मेला, लोकदेवता अथवा हस्तशिल्प किस जिले से संबंधित है), और प्रशासनिक पुनर्गठन के पश्चात पुरानी पुस्तकें इसी बिंदु पर अविश्वसनीय हो जाती हैं। पुस्तक स्वयं को कला, स्थापत्य एवं परंपराओं का विस्तृत और प्रामाणिक संग्रह कहती है, और प्रामाणिकता यहाँ वास्तविक चिंता का विषय है, क्योंकि इसी खंड में कोचिंग सामग्री में सर्वाधिक ग़लत तथ्य प्रचलित रहते हैं। इसमें दुर्ग एवं स्थापत्य, मंदिर, चित्रशैलियाँ, लोकदेवता एवं संत, मेले-त्योहार, लोकसंगीत एवं वाद्य यंत्र, लोकनृत्य एवं लोकनाट्य, वेशभूषा एवं आभूषण, हस्तशिल्प तथा बोलियाँ एवं साहित्य सम्मिलित हैं। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः हिन्दी भाषा एवं देवनागरी लिपि में है।
