Jaisalmer Fort Palace Museum
The magnificent Golden Fort of Jaisalmer (State: Rajasthan) is constructed by the renowned Rajput ruler Jaisal in 1156 on the Trikuta hills. The fort contains both ancient and modern structures. There are majestic palaces and Jain temples inside the fort.
Royal Palace of 19the century, also known as Raj Mahal inside the fort is a grand structure. Constructed in lime stone, this is a imposing seven-storied palace. It is also used as museum as well as heritage center. The lattice work on the windows show cases the excellent craftsmanship of the people.
One can enjoy the marvelous beauty of the Royal Palace from all angles from the big courtyard enclosed in the fort. This place might have been used for the ceremonies and celebrations of the Dussehra festivals in those days.

What a spectacular place, Rajesh. It's beautiful. The first photo looks like a wedding cake, the building is so intricate. And it's hard for me to imagine the year 1156 because Canada is so young.
And I noticed your fact #22 -- did you know Canada is now a source of diamonds?
