The desert scrub is a mixture of domesticated animals foraging for whatever they can find, and a variety of deer doing the same. Hindu practices do not allow herdsman to eliminate the deer in favor of their farm crops or ranging goats and cattle. We had the opportunity to visit the countryside with a school teacher who had offered his services. On the way to a village, we were amused by jousting bucks in a field.
It stands 2 km from Jodhpur and is one the world s biggest palaces built in 20th century.
The palace was started as a project to provide employement to famine sticken farmers.
the palace has European interiors and most modern facilities.
Now is a Five Star Deluxe Hotel and Museum
This immense palace with a peculiar creamy-pink sandstone and marble is now occupied by a luxury hotel, however visitors are allowed into the small museum and a courtyard. You won't be allowed inside the hotel if you are not a guest, so the visit is not worthy, although there are some interesting antique shops on the way to the palace.
The doors in olden times were carved and some have spikes ......the lock system as seen in the door at Jaswant thada is typical of this place.They had huge doorways or archways with beautifully carved doors in wood and metal.
Mehrangarh's Sheesh Mahal, despite its relatively late date is a fine example of a typical Rajput Sheesh Mahal, very different from the Mughal, though no doubt originally inspired by that immensely popular Mughal fashion.
The mirror-work includes large, regular pieces, rather than an intricate mosaic of tiny fragments; another difference is the superimposition over the mirror-work of brightly painted religious figures made in plaster.
