The city of Jaisalmer is dominated by the majestic Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila or the Golden Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stands tall on a hill and is made of yellow sandstone, giving it a golden hue, especially during sunset. The fort is a marvel of Rajput architecture, with intricately carved facades, ornate balconies, and beautiful Jain temples. Within its walls, there are narrow lanes, bustling marketplaces, and several heritage havelis (mansions) that showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region.
