Herd of Camels

What is a trip to Rajasthan if you don't  get to see a herd of camels :). And so did we ! .. We found this bunch miling around the edge of the road that connects Jodhpur and Jaiselmer.

GadiSagar Lake Jaiselmer

The GadiSagar Lake is a manmade rain water reservoir in Jaiselmer. Created by the first Raja Jaisal of Jaiselmer this was the only source of water for Jaiselmer in the old days. Beautifully carved yellow sand stone temples, chatris surrond the Gadi Sagar Lake. One can just imagine the romance of an evening on this charti surrounded by water and lighted by a hundred diyas.

 

Patwon ki Haveli

 

Located on a narrow lane in the main Jaisalmer city, Patwon ki haveli was constructed by Guman Chand Patwa and his five sons. Guman Chand was a famous trader of his times and dealt in gold, brocade and silver.

What you see in this image just a 5th part of the complete Haveli. The entire Haveli has 5 such sections, for each of Guman Chand's 5 sons. It is believed that it took about a 50 years to complete the construction of the entire haveli.
