Indeed, the desert of Rajasthan is a major part of the Thar desert extending from the western part of India and southeastern Pakistan. So, this huge expanse of arid land stretches in the southern part of Haryana, Punjab and northern Gujrat and Sindh province in Pakistan. The desert of Rajasthan is bounded by the Sutlej River in the northwest, the Aravali Mountains in the east and the salt marshes of the Rann of Kutch in the south and the Indus River in the west.
The battle with Ala-ud-din Khilji's death resulted in Duda, son of Jaitasimha and a Bhatti hero. Jaisalmer continued to be ruled by the descendants of Duda later. The year 1541 saw another battle in Jaisalmer, the Mughal emperor Himayun. Later Sabala Simha ruled Jaisalmer under the patronage of Mughal Emperor Shahajahan. He earned that right as a reward for battle distinctions in Peshawar. During British rule, the state of Jaisalmer was the last to sign the Instrument of Agreement with the British.
The city of Jaisalmer is divided into two parts - Old city and new city. Once surrounded by a now battered wall, the old city has seen ages come and go in. Among the many attractions of the city, is the main fortress of Jaisalmer. Built in the 12th century, it offers a magnificent view of the golden desert below. The other attractions include massive havelis built by wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer. In addition, a desert safari in the city, offering a glimpse of sand dunes, leave you with a sight forever etched in his memory.
