About Jaisalmer

JaipurRising from the heart of the Thar Desert like a golden mirage is the city of Jaisalmer. A commanding fort etched in yellow sandstone stands with all its awesome splendour, dominating the amber – hued city.

The city has an interesting legend associated with it, according to which, Lord Krishna – the head of the Yadav Clan, foretold Arjuna that a remote descendent of the Yadav Clan would build his kingdom atop the Trikuta Hill. His prophecy was fulfilled in 1156bA.D. when Rawal jaisal, a descendent of the Yadav Clan and a Bhatti Rajput, abandoned his fort at Lodurva and founded a new capital – Jaisalmer, perched on the Trikuta Hill.

Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer were feudal chiefs who lived off the forced levy on the caravans laden with precious silks and spices that crossed the territory enroute Delhi or sind. These caravans earned the town great wealth.

For years Jaisalmer remained untouched by the outside influences. The rise of shipping trade and the port of Mumbai saw the decline of Jaisalmer. But the desert fortress, that seems to be straight out of the ‘Tales of the Arabian Nights’, still enchants.

The life within the citadel conjures up images of medieval majesty visible in its narrow lanes strewn with magnificent palaces, havelis, temples and of course skilled artisans and ubiquitous camels.

The setting sun turning Jaisalmer into a beautiful golden brown is a spectacular sight.

The perfect time to visit the golden city is during the winter season and especially during Desert Festival, held in Jan/Feb. every year, when the city reverberates to the sound of melodious tunes and rhythms. Fold dances, exciting competitions and contests, especially the turban-tying contest, Mr. Desert contest and camel races enliven the festivities. Colourful craft bazaars are set up for the occasion and a sound and ling tspectacle is organized with folk artists performing against the splendid backdrop of the famous Sam sand dunes on the full moon night. Surely a not-to-be-missed event.

Places to visit:
Fort, Dadisar Lake, Nathmalji-ki-Haveli, Patwon-ki-Haveli, Salim singh-ki-Haveli, Jain Temples, Gyan Bhandar(librabry)

Excursions:
Lodurva (16 km): the ancient capial of Jaisalmer and an important pilgrim sopt of the Jain community. A ‘Kapataru’ or a divine tree within the temple is main attraction.

Wood Fossil Park, Aakal (17 km ): On Barmer road, the park takes you back to the Jurassic period (when the whole Thar region lay under the sea) with 180 million year old fossils.

Sam Sand Dunes (42 km): The trip to Jaisalmer is not complete without visit to most picturesque dunes of Sam. Here exciting camel safari gives the real feel of the desert.

Desert National Park ((45 km): Visit to the park gives you a life time experience to see prominent fauna – blackbuck, chinkara, desert fox and Great Indian Bustard.

Amar Sagar (5 km): A pleasant garden beside a lake with mango and other fruit trees and beautifully carved Jain temple.
Bada Bagh (6 km): A fertile oasis on the bank of an artificial lake, surrounded by dense trees are the royal cenotaphs with beautifully carved ceilings and equestrian statues of the former rulers.

Barmer (155 km): A tiny desert town renowned for its hand block printing industry, carved wood furniture, colourful costumes and amiable folks.
