Jaisalmer Fort
Known as SONAR QUILA or the Golden fort, rising from the sand
, the mega structure merges with the golden hues of the desert
ambience and the setting suns in its most colourful shades gives
it a fairy tale look. Its simply a magic, the bastions envelops
a whole townships that consist of palace complex various security
sources and the havelis of rich merchants carved with an incredibly
light touch, several temples and the residential complexes of
the armies and traders placed strategically on the trade route,
from where the ancient caravans passed en-route passing all the
riches for the prosperity to an otherwise non source full kingdom.
These merchants served and acquire a great deal of power and noble
status in the royal courts of Bhatti Rajputs who founded the state
in the 12th century and proceeded further. But the rich merchant
inspired by the classic style of the royals , constructed huge
mansions (havelis) adjacent to each other in the nature of medieval
culture and profusely decorated walls and ceilings and intricately
carved outdoors and interiors. The colourful art forms and some
how side kind the royal heritage and made it appear more pale
in comparison . The craftsmen were usually muslims who were induced
on their journey to exhibit their skills. The results was architectural
purity that cannot be seen elsewhere.
