Traditional Clothing
by Canadienne
We spent several hours at the home of the Bishnois family we visited. . .it was time spent chatting, looking around their farm, playing with the children, and eventually being dressed by their daughter. Ava, an Australian woman who was on the day-trip with us, and I were both kitted up in traditional outfits ~ an especially enjoyable experience for me, as I adore Indian fabrics and clothing.

by lynnehamman
This Palace,one of the most recently built in India, is built from fine white marble and sandstone, is a wonderful example of Indo- Saracenic architecture. It has magnificent gardens, courtyards and latticed balconies. The construction of the palace took 15 years, and was built by Mahrajah Umaid Singh.
Part of the palace has been converted into a heritage hotel, and there is an interesting museum as well.
This Palace is worth a visit, the architecture is superb. Gardens are green, and worth having a look at. Tea is served in the hotel restuarant.
The Maharajah of Jodhpur lives in this palace.
Sand castles in Mandore Garden
by Vija_v
Near Jodhpur in the public park we found this amazing buildings, which are basically Memorials of Royal Family memebers. As it was public park and there was no entrance fees, buildings were a bit disrepair, but any way they looked like sand castles in the middle of nowhere.

After entering through the entrance into the museum, this is one of the first things you'll find which stands in a small courtyard. The courtyard has the coronation throne of the Jodhpur rulers, made of white marble. Every ruler after Rao Jodha was crowned on it and you can see all of them listed near the throne on a wall.
