gleaming sand. Epitomizing the desolate, awesome charm of the desert.

intentional location on the camel deal routes, is frequently described
as the 'golden city'. The havelis, built by merchants of the 19th
century, are gracefully stamped from golden-yellow sandstone and are
still in a beautiful condition. The fort built by Rawal Jaisal in
the 12th century, stands on the 80 meter high Trikuta hill, with
wonderfully imprinted Jain temples.
