There are just a few ‘living forts’ existing in the world and Jaisalmer fort is one of them. A good amount of the city’s population lives in and around it. The fort is located in the city center and holds a glorious 800-year history. You will need a whole day to explore the entire fort with its museums. The fort is also a shopping hub for many. You will find several merchants selling various handmade items of stone, brass, and iron. Also, there are dozens of shops of Indian ethnic wear for men and women.
Rawal Jaisal envisioned a fort that could withstand enemy attacks and protect the city and its people. The fort's strategic location atop a hill provided a natural advantage, while its thick walls and defensive towers made it virtually impenetrable.
The architecture of Jaisalmer Fort is a blend of Rajput and Islamic styles, influenced by the cultural exchanges that occurred along ancient trade routes. Inside the fort, visitors can explore palaces, temples, and havelis (mansions) adorned with ornate carvings and exquisite artwork, showcasing the rich heritage of the region.
