Luxury Tours of India - Golden Fort



Jaisalmer Fort of Rajasthan Luxury Tours known as Sonar Quila or the Golden Fort of Rajasthan, rising from the sand, the mega structure merges with the golden hues of the desert ambience and the setting suns in its most colourful shades gives it a fairy tale look. Deep in the heart of the Thar Desert is Jaisalmer of Rajasthan, one of the last princely bastions in the region. Founded on what was the cross - road of lucrative trade routes, this remote settlement came to be celebrated for the valour of its rulers, and for the aesthetic sense represented by their palaces and havelis.

It’s simply a magic, the bastions envelops a whole townships that consist of palace complex various security sources and the havelis of rich merchants carved with an incredibly light touch, several temples and the residential complexes of the armies and traders placed strategically on the trade route, from where the ancient caravans passed en-route passing all the riches for the prosperity to an otherwise non source full kingdom. These merchants served and acquire a great deal of power and noble status in the royal courts of Bhatti Rajputs who founded the state in the 12th century and proceeded further. 

Jaisalmer Fort is very famous in India Luxury Tours but the rich merchant inspired by the classic style of the royals, constructed huge mansions (havelis) adjacent to each other in the nature of medieval culture and profusely decorated walls and ceilings and intricately carved outdoors and interiors. The rich merchants engaged stone - craftsmen who worked delicately on the sandstone mansions they built, filling up facades with sculptural filigree, screen windows, delicate pavilions and beautiful balconies.  The colourful art forms and somehow side kind the royal heritage and made it appear pales in comparison. The craftsmen were usually Muslims who were induced on their journey to exhibit their skills. The result was architectural purity that cannot be seen elsewhere.
