Jaisalmer nicknamed "The
Golden city", is a city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, located 575 km west of State Capital Jaipur. The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, crowned by a fort, which contains the palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples are finely sculptured. It
lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (the Great Indian Desert) and has a population of about 78,000.
It is the administrative headquarters of Jaisalmer District. Jaisalmer is named after Maharawal Jaisal Singh, a Rajput king who founded the city in 1156 AD. "Jaisalmer" means
"the Hill Fort of Jaisal". Jaisalmer is sometimes called the
"Golden City of India" because the yellow sand and the yellow
sandstone used in every architecture of the city gives a yellowish-golden tinge
to the city and its surrounding area.
It is the largest
district of Rajasthan and one of the largest in the country, hugged on the west
& south-west by the Pakistani border. The length of the international
border attached to Jaisalmer District is 471 km. Water is scarce, and
generally brackish; the average depth of the wells is said to be about 250 feet
(76 m). There are no perennial streams, and only one small river, the Kakni, which, after flowing a distance of 48 km, spreads over a large
surface of flat ground, and forms Lake Orjhil. The climate is dry. Throughout Jaisalmer only rain crops, such
as bajra, jawar, motif, til, etc., are grown; spring crops of wheat, barley, etc., are very rare.
Built in 1156 by the
Bhati Rajput ruler Jaisal, Jaisalmer Fort, situated on Meru Hill and named as Trikoot Garh has been the scene of many battles. Its massive sandstone walls are a tawny lion colour during the day, turning to a
magical honey-gold as the sun sets. The famous Indian film director Satyajit Ray wrote a detective novel and later turned it into a film − Sonar Kella (The Golden Fortress) which was based on this fort. This is a
living fort and about a quarter of city's population still live inside the
fort. The main attractions inside the fort are: Raj Mahal (Royal palace), Jain temples and the Laxminath temple. Jaisalmer has been enriched by
its Jain community, which has adorned the city with beautiful temples, notably the temples dedicated to the 16th Tirthankara, Shantinath, and 23rd Tirthankara, Parshvanath. There are seven Jain temples in total which are situated within
the Jaisalmer fort built during 12th and 15th centuries.
