Wildlife Safari in Rajasthan
Jaisalmer
– the golden beauty, etched in yellow sandstone. Perched
atop the Trikuta Hill, it stands tall against miles of gleaming
sand. Epitomising the desolate, awesome charm of the desert.
Jaisalmer, the city of the golden fort is a fantasy in yellow
sandstone in the heart of the Thar Desert. The city was founded
in 1156 by Rawal Jaisal, a Bhatti Rajput King. Legend has it,
that Lord Krishna – the head of Yadav Clan, foretold Arjuna
that a remote descendent of Yadav Clan would build his kingdom
atop the Trikuta Hill. His prophecy was fulfilled, when in 1156
AD Rawal Jaisal, a descendant of Yadav Clan and a Bhatti Rajput,
founded the city of Jaisalmer.
