Nick,
You can find a fair amount of free data for Rajasthan on our Maplicity-powered Afghanistan Internet GIS and Satellite Image Visualization System. In addition to all of Afghanistan, the site also includes data for some neighboring countries including all of Pakistan, and parts of Western India. You can freely download any of the vectors (as shape files), and also create and download custom satellite images (with world files), create and print custom maps, etc. There is also a complete on-line help that explains how to use Maplicity (for downloading data, look under "File" menu, and "Clip & Ship").
Here are the specific data layers that are available on the site:
Vectors (derived from NIMA): Airfields, Named places, Coastline, Country Boundaries, Roads, Rivers, Lakes, Population Centers, Administrative Boundaries Imagery (derived from NASA ESE/SDP and USGS): Landsat TM mosaic (resampled to 60m pixels), Hillshaded Relief, Colorized DEM.
The data is more or less appropriate for mapping at scales of 1:1,000,000. Check the links on the launch page to the source data from NIMA VMAP0, USGS GTOPO30, and NASA ESE/SDP for detailed information about these datasets. Here's the URL for accessing the site (broadband connection recommended for Maplicity Java viewers, or use MaplicityHTML if accessing from a dial-up):

Hope this helps, and please contact us directly with any questions.
