Hundreds of poets and writers have emerged using the vernacular form of Rajasthani language as their medium. Rajasthan&#8217;s folk literature too is extremely rich and diverse in nature and includes folk songs, famous folklores, witty sayings and proverbs, riddles and much-treasured folk plays known as &#8216;khayals&#8217;.
