| This striking image captures the majestic Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila or the Golden Fort, rising from the heart of the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India. Built in 1156 AD by Rajput ruler Rawal Jaisal, the fort is constructed from yellow sandstone that glows golden in the sunlight. One of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world, Jaisalmer Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains a living fort, with homes, shops, and temples still active within its ancient walls. Its intricate architecture, historic charm, and desert backdrop make it a must-visit destination for travelers and photographers. |
