Jaisalmer
"The Golden city", is a city in the Indian state of
Rajasthan, located 575 kilometres (357mile) west of the state capital
Jaipur. Once known as Jaisalmer state it is a World Heritage Site.
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.
The otherwise barren land of Jaisalmer comes alive once every year during winters. It is the time when the festivities of Desert Festival slowly start engulfing the Desert City. During the festival in Jaisalmer, the city displays the wealth of its culture and traditions to the rest of the world. The festival expresses the people's zeal for the life and is a colorful extravaganza of fun, frolic, laughter and adventure.
