When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Jerusalem and Rajasthan, we can see that Rajasthan is more expensive. And not only is Jerusalem much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. Since Jerusalem is in Middle East and Rajasthan is in Asia, this is one of the main reasons why the costs are so different, as different regions of the world tend to have overall different travel costs. So, traveling to Jerusalem would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Jerusalem and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities. The same level of travel in Rajasthan would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Rajasthan than you might in Jerusalem.
