Beautiful gypsy women in heavy silver jewelry and colorful ghagra will show you the jewelry and lure you to buy them. Then one by one you pass through huge gates that are placed in a zigzag way and remind you that it is a fort and not an old locality that the living environment can make you feel. The height of the fort all around is overwhelming and your neck would need some stretching to look at the Kanguras on top, and intricately carved jharokhas jutting out of the walls \u2013 that have become such a symbol of Rajasthani architecture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35812\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35812\" style=\"width: 286px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35812\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wedding-invitation-painted-at-jaisalmer-fort.jpg\" alt=\"A Wedding invitation painted on the walls\" width=\"286\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wedding-invitation-painted-at-jaisalmer-fort.jpg 286w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wedding-invitation-painted-at-jaisalmer-fort-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wedding-invitation-painted-at-jaisalmer-fort-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35812\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Wedding invitation painted on the walls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We noticed the colorful wedding invitations painted on the outside walls of many houses and the dates indicated very recent marriages. It seems this is a way of the fort wallahs to invite people around or maybe to tell people which are house hosting the wedding.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35813\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35813\" style=\"width: 319px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35813\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/artifacts-shop-inside-jaisalmer-fort.jpg\" alt=\"Artifacts shop\" width=\"319\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/artifacts-shop-inside-jaisalmer-fort.jpg 319w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/artifacts-shop-inside-jaisalmer-fort-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/artifacts-shop-inside-jaisalmer-fort-280x420.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artifacts shop &#8211; you will find lots of interesting metal crafts there<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dussehra_Chowk\"><\/span>Dussehra Chowk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lanes through the gates lead to a Chauraha or a central courtyard called Dussehra Chowk. And I infer that the festival must have been celebrated here or maybe is still celebrated. Around this courtyard are royal palaces including the one belonging to the ladies of the palace. A door has palm marks painted around it and I was told that these were by Satis. That is ladies who burnt themselves on the pyres of their husbands and hence were revered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you look around you can see the life of the residents revolving pretty much around the tourists walking in. As they try to sell their souvenirs like leather products or colorful garments. Incidentally, they are not too much interested in Indians unless their intuitive intelligence classifies them as NRIs. Amusingly, you can find almost all popular world cuisines within the walls of this ancient fort. I could not miss the Gol Gappewala, who stood most visible in the courtyard, or were it my eyes that made the stall stand out?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22065\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22065\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22065 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heritage-center-jaisalmer-fort.jpg\" alt=\"Heritage center\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heritage-center-jaisalmer-fort.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heritage-center-jaisalmer-fort-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/heritage-center-jaisalmer-fort-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22065\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heritage center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temples\"><\/span>Temples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fort is also known for the 7 Jain temples that are inside it. I managed to see only one that too from the outside and the entrance was very similar to the temple at Lodurva with its latticed slanted walls, and this gave me a hint that it was probably the dominant style of this space and that time. Temples are open in the mornings and evenings and there may be a restriction on entry of Non-Jains at certain times.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22066\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22066 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/palace-jaisalmer-fort.jpg\" alt=\"Palace inside the fort\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/palace-jaisalmer-fort.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/palace-jaisalmer-fort-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/palace-jaisalmer-fort-628x420.jpg 628w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The palace inside the fort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vibrant_Fort\"><\/span>Vibrant Fort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a massive <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jaisalmer_Fort\">fort<\/a> with a 5 km circumference. And thick walls with 99 odd bastions. There are two parallel walls in the ancient tradition of Mori &#8211; a security strategy. I could not walk on the wall and it remains pending for the next time. I am told that till a few months back this fort was not so clean. Due to a unique citizen\u2019s initiative called I Love Jaisalmer the <a title=\"Kumbhalgarh Fort with an unwinding Wall\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/kumbhalgarh-fort-with-an-unwinding-wall\/\">fort<\/a> and the area around it have been cleaned. My first-time eyes thought there was still a lot of scope for cleanliness. I wonder if this also helped the fort to be included in the <a title=\"Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/bharatpur-bird-sanctuary\/\">UNESCO world heritage<\/a> list along with 5 other hill forts of <a title=\"The deceptive Palace at Deeg\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/deeg-palace-rajasthan\/\">Rajasthan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What made me most happy about this <a title=\"Neemrana Fort &amp; Palace\" href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/neemrana-fort-palace\/\">fort<\/a> was the fact it is still a living space. Not many ancient places have a tradition of continued living.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recommend you to read the following blog posts on other tourist attractions nearby.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/kuldhara-jaisalmer\/\"><strong>Haunted Trails through Kuldhara Abandoned Cursed Villages<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/review-suryagarh-jaisalmer\/\"><strong>Review: Suryagarh<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recommend following tourist attractions Forts of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/chittorgarh-fort-palace-rajasthan\/\"><strong>Chittorgarh Fort &#8211; Stories of Courage, Devotion &amp; Sacrifice<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/temples-of-chittorgarh-fort\/\">Temples of Chittorgarh Fort<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/bada-bagh-jaisalmer\/\">Royal Cenotaphs @ Bada Bagh<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaisalmer Fort is one of the few living forts in India.
