JAISALMER |
|
The name
Jaisalmer evokes a vivid picture of sheer magic and brilliance of the desert. Legend has
it that Rawal Jaisal laid the foundation of the city in 1156 A.D. After consulting a local
hermit by the name of Eesul. Tricuta was the hill chosen and Jaisal abandoned his old fort
at Lodurva to establish this new capital. |
|
Over the
years the remote location of Jaisalmer kept it almost untouched by outside influences and
even during the days of Raj, Jaisalmer was the last to sign the Instrument of Agreement
with the British.
In Medieval times, its prosperity was due to its location on the main trade route linking
India to Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa and the West. Ages have gone by and the monuments
of Jaisalmer have withstood the buffeting winds of the desert all through. Jaisalmer is a
marvel of beautiful culture and harsh climatic conditions, together amounting to a
memorable experience. |
