1: This Guide is THE GUIDE for a trip to India
This Guide really helped us plan our trip in Northern India. We arrived not knowing where we really wanted to go and what we wanted to see. The Guide helped us plan where to stay, where to eat..and gave us enough information to help us distill what would be exciting for us. After reading about Pushkar..we hired a driver and arrived in a city that filled all of our expectations and hopes! We ate at the recommended restaurants and they did not disappoint. India is a country that is big,amazing and difficult to navigate, Lonely Planet showed us the way to having an unforgettable trip.

Lonely Planet lives up to its reputation as the best budget travel guide out there. Great!

3: If You're Going you Better have a good guide- and this is the best.
If you're doing the 'typical' first time trip to India - the Golden Triangle - this is all you need - no reason to have a full guide to India since the south is completely different from the north - carrying a full guide to India if you're just going to Delhi, The Taj Mahal, and say Jaipur, is like carrying a guide to to Poland for a trip to France - I guess that's why Lonely Planet decided to publish this concise guide.
Traveling to India takes a lot of preparation and you discover you forgot to do half the preparation you needed when you get there - this book helps full the gaps, prepare you for the shocks, gives great connection information to the often confusing and chaotic, but surprisingly pretty well ran Indian railways.
It also gives you good thumbnail estimates about prices -which is essential for Western travelers as you are continuously the target of price gouging. Highly recommended.

4: A Typical Lonely Planet ...
This book offers everything you expect from a Lonely Planet travel guide - background infos you need to know about the country (Do's, Don'ts, how to get by in India on your own, etc.), sights, restaurant and hotel listings and much more for your trip to Rajasthan.
Like most Lonely Planets, it is a bit thin on history and culture, the description of the sights is sometimes very short.
The Delhi chapter is extensive, though.
You get everything you expect from a LP, but if you are interested in history and Indian culture and religion, buy another book to accompany this LP on your trip.
