Walk into History at Mandore Fort – Rajasthan’s Timeless Legacy
Nestled near Jodhpur, Mandore Fort is a remarkable historical site that once served as the ancient capital of the Marwar region. Dating back to the 4th century AD, Mandore’s rich past is a fascinating tapestry woven by various rulers including the Nagas, Pratiharas, Chahamanas, Delhi Sultans, and Rathores. This succession of dynasties has gifted Mandore a diverse and vibrant architectural and cultural heritage.
Visitors to Mandore Fort can explore exquisite monuments like the Vishnu temple and a beautifully preserved Jain temple, both reflecting the religious harmony of the region. The royal cenotaphs (chhatris) built by different rulers showcase intricate craftsmanship and stand as grand memorials to Marwar’s bygone kings.
