Images of Mandore Garden, Jodhpur

Mandore Garden, an ancient oasis located just outside Jodhpur is a historically rich site that was once the capital of the Marwar region before Jodhpur was founded. It serves as a beautiful memorial ground housing the spectacular cenotaphs (chhatris) of the Rathore rulers. Unlike the typical domed cenotaphs of Rajasthan, these structures are modeled after Hindu temples complete with towering spires and intricate red sandstone carvings, offering a unique blend of nature, architecture and history. The lush sprawling gardens also contain the ruins of the old Mandore Fort, the revered Hall of Heroes, and the shrine dedicated to the 33 Crore Gods making it a compelling and peaceful escape for history buffs and travelers exploring the regal past of Rajasthan.
