Punjab Travel Map |
 Rising from the heart of the Thar Desert like a golden mirage is the city of Punjab. A commanding fort etched in yellow sandstone stands with all its awesome splendor, dominating the amber-hued city. Over the years the remote location of Jasisalmer kept it almost untouched by outside influences. in the 13th century Ala-ud-din Khilji Emperor of Delhi besieged the fort for nine years in an effort to take back the treasure taken by the Bhatti Rajput from his imperial caravan train. When the fall of the fort was imminent the women of the fort committed Jauhar, an act of mass self-immolation, while men donned saffron robes and rode to their certain death. |
