BHAWAN PALACE MANDORE
GARDENS The gardens also contain the cenotaphs of Jodhpur rulers, and the largest and the finest of them all, the soaring memorial to Maharaja Ajit Singh. Here, one may find a captivating collection of cremation-site memorials, mostly 17th-18th century set amidst surprisingly green, clean and hassle-free gardens. The highlight of the Mandore Gardens include the graphic Hall of Heroes, a rock wall with high relief, brightly painted depictions of local heroes such as Pabuji and Chamunda and crowded modern shrine of 300 million Gods. Fairs in Rajasthan are mythological in nature, relating to gods and goddesses. They are even celebrated to commemorate the brave deeds of medieval heroes. Mandore Gardens provide the perfect venue for The Marwar Festival, held in memory of the heroes of Rajasthan. The festival is celebrated in the Hindu month of Ashwin (Sept.-Oct.) in Jodhpur, the former capital of Marwar Province.

Jodhpur,
the former Capital of Marwar State was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha who
claimed descent from Lord Rama (the hero of the epic Ramayana). The city
was built as a result of warring brothers.
Spread
over 5 km on a perpendicular hill and looking down from a height of about
100 meters, the fort is one of the best preserved in Rajasthan. It houses
some of the most intricately adorned Palaces with exquisitely carved panels
and latticed windows. Moti Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Sileh Khana and Daulat
Khana are some of the important areas to visit and view the collection
of palanquins, howdahs, royal cradles, miniature, musical instruments,
costumes and furniture.
The
ruins of the original capital of Marwar now in ruins, stand in lush, shady
gardens and are entered via the Ajit Pole, the gate that was built in
celebration of Ajit Singh’s victory over the Moghals in 1707 AD.
