Wedding in Jaisalmer |
|
|
| The fort & town of JAISALMER was founded
by Maharawal Jaisal in the year 1156 AD after
having shifted his capital from Ludharva (18
Kms away from Jaisalmer) to a safer place.
The ruling family of the erstwhile Jaisalmer
State belongs to Bhati Clan of Yadu Rajputs
of Chandrawasnshi (Lunar) race who claim descent
from Lord Krishna,the defied hero who ruled
at Dwarka. The historical origin of Bahttis
can be inferred from the couplet which says
that the Yadu Rajputs ruled and constructed
Forst at Kashi,Madhura, Pragvad, Gajni,Bhatner,Digam,Dirwal,Lodurva
and ninth in Jaisalmer. (Gajni is in Afganisthan
and Dirawal is now in Pakistan).
The present district is largely composed
of the former JAISALMER state, which was
among the Rajputana States to go under British
protection. The treaty between Maharawal
Moolraj-II and the British government of
12th December 1818 guaranteed to the ruler
and his posterity the principality of Jaisalmer.
Under this treaty the ruler of the State
was required to act in subordinate cooperation
with the British Government. At the time
of Afgan War in 1938-39 the then ruler of
the state Maharawal Gaj singh made excellent
fool-proof arrangements for transportation
of british troops for which British Government
felt grateful to the ruler for timely help
and cooperation. In 1844, after the British
annexed Sind, The Forts of Shahgarh and
Ghotaru, which are formerly belonged to
JAISALMER, were restored to the State. In
1949 when Jaisalmer was merged into the
state of Rajasthan, there was no important
change in the area of the state.On October
6,1949,the region was given the status of
an independent district in Jodhpur division.
District JAISALMER has a very dry climate
with very hot summer; a cold winter and
sparse rains. The climate is extremely hot
during summer with maximum temperature reaching
up to 49.2 degree celcious and extremely
cold during winder with minimum temp. in
the range of 1 degree celcious. The variation
in temperature from morning to noon and
the late midnight is a sudden phenomenon.
The average rainfall is only 16.4 cms as
against the state average of 57.51 cms.

| Gorbandh
Palace |
| Gorbandh Palace is ideally located in the
desert city of Jaisalmer, distinguished over
the centuries for its golden fort or 'Sonar
Kila'. A Royal Retreat of the HRH Group of
Hotels, Gorbandh Palace provides spectacular
views of the acclaimed fort and is well-connected
to the famous Sam sand dunes. The hotel organises
desert camps with Rajasthan's celebrated folk
music and dance around a campfire on starlit
evenings at the sand dunes.
The very name of this hotel is inspired
by the influence of the desert. Gorbandh
is a harness, which the desert women decorate
for their husband's camel with any material
they can find: cowry shells, beads, sequins,
couloured threads and even buttons. The
hotel offers modern amenities and thoughtful
comforts in an authentic Rajasthani ambience.
Abundant greenery within the hotel, its
fountain and blue waters of the swimming
pool create a comfortably cool environment
that defies the heat and sand of this golden
desert city.
