Jaisalmer Fort, often referred to as the "Golden Fort," is a marvel of Rajput architecture. Constructed in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, a Bhati Rajput ruler, the fort is perched atop the Trikuta Hill in the heart of the Thar Desert. Its golden-yellow sandstone walls, a striking feature, earned it the moniker. The fort's construction is a fine example of traditional Rajasthani craftsmanship, employing a technique known as 'Gulabi,' wherein pink sandstone blocks are carved and fitted together with remarkable precision.
