Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila or Golden Fort, is a magnificent fortification located in the city of Jaisalmer in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The fort is one of the largest and oldest living forts in the world and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort was built in the 12th century by the Rajput ruler Rawal Jaisal and is made of yellow sandstone, which gives it a golden hue in the sunlight.
The fort is situated on a hilltop and is surrounded by a 30-foot high wall with 99 bastions. The fort has four massive gateways, each leading to a different part of the city. The fort is divided into three parts - the outer fort, the inner fort, and the palace complex. The outer fort houses the shops and houses of the local people, while the inner fort is where the royal family used to live. The palace complex is the most impressive part of the fort and is home to several palaces, temples, and courtyards.
The fort is a perfect example of Rajasthani architecture and is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The fort has several Jain temples, including the famous Jain temple of Parshvanath, which is known for its exquisite carvings and paintings. The fort also has a museum that houses a collection of ancient artifacts, weapons, and paintings.
The fort is a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors from all over the world. The fort offers a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding desert. The fort is also famous for its vibrant bazaars, where visitors can shop for traditional Rajasthani handicrafts, jewelry, and textiles.
Overall, Jaisalmer Fort is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Rajasthan. The fort is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan and is a perfect blend of history, architecture, and art.
