Jaisalmer...
The description of Jaisalmer’s
lives and pastures is like an Arabian Night’s fable.
The harsh glare of the sun is rendered lukewarm and
soothing by dint of cool styles of living and the
cultural cushions & boosters. Amidst the arid Thar
Desert, Jaisalmer is like an oasis---- the bird’s
eye view is rather interesting and unforgettably
entertaining.
The Jaisalmer City was founded as a
capital in 1156 AD by a Bhatti Rajput ruler
Rawal Jaisal borrowing name from him.It still
presents the pictures of medieval majesty through
Palaces, Havelis, Temples, Narrow Lanes, skilled
artisans, and ubiquitous Camels.The very location of
Jaisalmer was the main cause of its prominence and
prosperity, as it was on the main trade route
linking India to Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa, and
the west. |
