Mandore is a town located 9
km north of Jodhpur city, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The historic
town boasts several monuments. The now ruined Mandore Fort, with its
thick walls and substantial size, was built in several stages and was
once a fine piece of architecture.
A huge, now ruined temple is a highlight of the fort. The outer wall of
the temple depicts finely carved botanical designs, birds, animals and
planets.
The Mandore Gardens also house a government museum, a 'Hall of Heroes'
and a Hindu temple to 33 crore gods. Various artefacts and statues found
in the area are housed at the museum. |
