THE GOLDEN FORT The Golden Fort or "Sonar Kila", built of sandstone of the jurrassic period on the Trikuta Hill ( the tripple peaked hill ). It grows out of a rock in an undulating sea of sand. The imposing fort is awe-inspiring protected by rugged high walls,approachable through four successive gates, the Akhaiy Pol, the Ganesh Pol, the Suraj Pol and the Hawa Pol. The palaces of the rulers built atop the main entrance, from an imposing edifice crowned by a huge umbrella of metal mounted on a stone shaft. The fort also houses many old Hindu as well as Jain temples and beautifully carved havelis. The entire living area is well protected within the ramparts of the fort.

NATHMAL KI HAVELI Carved by Lalu and Hathi, two brothers for the Prime Minister of State, Nathmalji in 19th century. The most interesting fact is that the brothers worked separately, one on the right side and other on the left side, the result is a absolute symphony epitomising the side by side symmetry during construction. The haveli is richly carved and the inner chambers are decorated with miniature paintings.

MANDIR PALACE The excellent palace complex located near Amar Sagar gate , is the house of former royal family. The Tazia Tower rising from the palace is the landmark for the town. The building forms are interesting and the facades are richly carved.

The haveli begins with a narrow dimension below with an elaborate projecting balcony on the top storey. It is distinguished by the blue cupola roof.

GADSISAR LAKE This rainwater lake was once the major supplier of potable water in the town. Today it is a big attraction for the picnickers in the desert city. Sacred shrines and well-laid gardens flank the lake. A varied collection of beautiful brides can be observed fluttering about over here.

AMAR SAGAR LAKE(Location: 7 K.M. in the western outskirts of Jaisalmer) How to reach: Hire a cab or share an Auto-rickshaw Attractions: Lake and a Palace Amar Sagar is a small and beautiful lake cum Oasis and is adjacent to a 17th Century palace called the Amar Singh Palace. Maharawal Akhai Singh built this palace in honor of one of his predecessors Amar Singh. Next to the palace are pavilions with a large stairs leading down to the Amar Sagar Lake. This haveli has been constructed in the pattern of apartments. The Amar Sagar is a five story high haveli and is famous for its murals. Wherever you go in this haveli, you will notice beautiful murals painted with delicate efforts. You can find many of wells and ponds in the surrounding which have a royal air about them. There is an old Shiva temple in the complex itself. Amar Singh built this because he was supposed to be an ardent follower of Lord Shiva, a Hindu God related to destruction.

KULDHARA(Distance : 27 kms west of Jaisalmer ) The Village kuldhara was formed by a Paliwal person named Kuldhar and on his name the village is known as Kuldhara. The Village is now abondand and behind this there were so many stories in the air among these a very popular and strong one is that ... Deewan of that time Salim Singh was was a very rude and tourturing personality to get rid of all this the villagers of 84 villages near by Kuldhara took a bitter decision to leave the place on a perticular day and they did it and left the place all togather. Because of all this the village is now abondand but its The village is also known for its architecture and water conservation techniques. Thw Magsase award winner Mr. Rajendra singh also put efforts to adopt the water conservation techniques of this village because its an exaple of better water coservation techniques.

The wole temple is having very fine carving on every piece of stone used to construct the temple.

BARABAGH(Distance : 7 kms North of Jaisalmer ) Bada Bagh which literally means ‘Big Garden’ is located on the Ramgarh road. It was commissioned by Maharawal Jait Singh in the early 16th century and completed by his son Lunakaran after his death. The site itself consists of a tank, a dam and a garden. Nearby you will find the Govardhan Stambh (pillar) on which are engraved the names of the dam and the water tank which are called the Jait Bandh and the Jaitsar respectively, dedicated to the man who constructed them. The Jait Bandh is a colossal structure, about 1,200 feet in length and 350 feet in width and built out of solid blocks of stone, as are the stepwells. On the nearby hill lie the imperial chhatris or cenotaphs of the rulers – a tribute to the valourous Bhatti dynasty. The oldest among them are the cenotaphs of Maharawal Jait Singh and his predecessor Devidas who reigned from 1470-1506. The newest cenotaph is that of Jawahar Singh who was Maharawal at the time of Indian independence. Jawahar Singh’s chhatri was left incomplete as his son died within a year of his accession to the throne which was considered a bad omen by the family. From then on the practice of building a valedictory memorial to the ruling clan has been discontinued.

SAM SAND DUNES(Distance : 45 kms west of Jaisalmer ) Undoubtedly the most well known destination in Jaisalmer after the ‘golden fort’, the Sam Sand dunes are a tourist hot spot in more ways than one. 3km long, 1km wide and as much as half a kilometer high, the dunes are as treacherous as they are scenic. The rippling sand miles upon miles at Sam is spell binding, alluring the tourists from all over the world. The shifting sand dunes are spread all over and everchanging. The camel safaris give one, a first hand feel of the desert life. The place is also a photographers delight and a popular site for shooting of feature films. The sunset point is an unforgettable experience. There is no point coming to the Thar Desert if you don't go for the Desert Safari. That is why Sam sand dunes are becoming the major attraction in Jaisalmer. This is the closest place from where you can loose yourself in 'the Great Thar Desert'. Sam has a truly magnificent stretch of sweeping dunes, with sparse or no vegetation. The best way to get here, of course, is on camelback. Join a camel caravan at Jaisalmer on your Rajasthan tours and ride along the breathtaking crests and troughs. Enjoy the romance of solitude as your camel takes you deep in the hearts of the Thar Desert. Put yourself in the camp and experience the sun setting behind the horizon. Organize a bonfire with the fellow tourists in the night and enjoy the rustic and earthy music and dance of Rajasthan. In the month of February/March, this whole place turns into a cultural hub. The desert festival organized amid these dunes is the showcase of Rajasthani culture as a whole. Open-air cultural extravaganzas, puppet shows, folk dance performances, camel races, competitions and general festivities mark

22 this annual event that is held with great pomp and show at the Sam Sand dunes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

AKAL WOOD FOSSILS PARK Millions of years the ocean submerged ago Jaisalmer, and the discovery of seashells here emphasizes that belief. The wood fossils at Akal (17 km off the city on the Jaisalmer-Barmer road) are an example of the fossilization archaeologists say occurred 180 million years ago. The story goes that entire forests were so petrified of something that they were converted into stone. The fossils are said to represent non-flowering plants and provide a clue to the age of the deposition of sediments. At nearby Kandiala the deposits are probably older, but historians have been unable to ascribe a date to it.

Potential Industrial/Services/Trade

17.1 Potential Industrial & Other Contributory Facotr

Jaisalmer district is very important due to border district and has very much strategic importance. As started earlier, the Jaisalmer district is considered to be one amongst the category of industrially backward district of the state but future may be very good for industrial development, as agriculture production will increase due to IGNP and deposits of minerals. 17.2 Strategy Suggested

1- To boost up the industrial development in district existing industrial area should be extended or new industrial area at jethwai should be developed by RIICO. Some agency should provide infrastructure facilities in Baramsar and Hamira Industrial Area. 2- Ramgarh and sonu has ideal conditions for cement conditions for cement plants, As there is sufficient cement grade lime stone, plenty of water and good supply of electricity, still it lacks rail line with Jaisalmer. So it is essential to link ramgarh with Jaisalmer by Rail. 3- In rural area folk women are doing good work of patch work and embroidery but good market is not available for them. The middlemen takes the lions share in the profit. So common market is needed for them. 4- This district is very far away from rest of country. The transport is costly so some transport subsidy scheme be here like in hilly area. 17.3 Potential Industries

The detail of potential industries in Jaisalmer is as under : 1- Resource Based : a. Cement b. Plaster of Paris & Gypsum Grinding c. Pottery

d. Hydrated Time e. Marble Chips, Karegy and stone Crushers f. Lather Tannery

2- Demand Based : a. Tyre retreating b. Motor rewinding workshop 17.4 Proposed Augmentation of Industrial Area Keeping in view demand for industrial plots in Jaisalmer industrial area, the expansion of existing industrial area is proposed, simultaneously it is also proposed to accelerate the work of developing the new industrial area of pokran, Rural I.A. may by developed at Ramgarh, Mohangarh, Nachana. The District collector has set a part IAA’s at Hamira and Baramsar for plaster of paris and agro based industries.

17.5 Suggestion Strategy for Artisan and handloom weaver Upgaradation

In order to develop the local handicrafts as well as local artisans of the district, to increase their expertise and to uplift the standard of living of these persons, it should be worth of suggest such strategies, which may assist their artisans in raising their earing secondly specific training and skill development program may also be proposed to improve the expertise of such artisan and weavers. Thirdly proper and adequate marketing channels should also be developed for marketing of the products of the artisans and weavers and lastly some sources be suggested which may finance the existing as well as the new incoming units of artisans and weaver of generate of more employment opportunities. Suggested The main occupation of the population in the district is agriculture. District is industrially backward. there is no large/medium scale unit presently. There are only Micro and Small units registered with DIC. The district lacks in entrepreneurship and sufficient scope is there for industrial development to promote small scale industries in the district. The following plants of action have been suggested. 1. To Create awareness and to develop entrepreneurship in the district, there is need to arrange EDPs, Industrial Motivational

Camping at Tehsils levels. These EDPs are essential for creating the entrepreneurial attitude among the people of the district. 2. The district is industrially backward but has not declared by the government. The district should be declared as industrially backward to attract the entrepreneurs to set up new industries in the district. 3. Investment and interest subsidy may also be provided to hotel industry in the district. 4. To create industrial environment in the district and to promote ancillaries, large/medium units on resource based may be set up in the district. 6. To Provide raw material facilities to existing units, a raw material depot may be opened by RSIC in the district. 7. To provide advance technical training to youth a polytechnic/ engineering collage may be opened. 8. Efforts may be made to strengthen the infrastructure in the district old road may be required and new better road may be development in the district. 9. To draw the attention of potential of entrepreneur of the State, it is suggested to organize few number of industrial development campaigns / camps in Jaisalmer district.

Summery

The major proportion of the working force in the district i.e. about 65% is engaged in the agriculture sector.  Agricultural resources available in the district are very limited. But with development of Indira Gandhi Canal Project in the area it is being expected that such resources will increase in near furure.  The water resources in the district are also limited and hence the need is felt to develop more water resources.  The district has good number of livestock and hence 2280 tones of wool 14000 tones of meat, 53.82 lack square feet of hide and 7900 tones of bones are available every year.  The district does not have adequate rail and road network and hence there is the need of development the some to strengthen infrastructure facilities.

Ramgarh should be linked with rail so some lime stone based big industries may be established there.  The district is rich in mineral resources and hence some suitable mineral- based industries are suggested in the district.  Keeping in view the huge deposits of natural gas and mineral oils, a few numbers of industries based on these two resources have been suggested and incorporated in the report.  Keeping in view the increasing trend of tourist's arrival some tourism industries have also been suggested in the report.  The position of rural electrification is not found to the level of satisfaction as by march 2003 only 55.69% of the existing villages in the district were electrified, Therefore, to strengthen the infrastructure facilities in rural and remote areas, the work of electrification of such rural areas should be taken on priority basis.  As Jaisalmer stands at first place area wise in the state the distance between the village are very large. Keeping in view this fact, the network of exiting banking facilities is not appropriate in the district. Hence it is suggested to open some more branches of the banks.  Keeping in view the availability of resources and demand some suitable industrial unit have been suggested at various location.  It is also proposed to extend industrial area at Jaisalmer and to accelerate the development of industrial area at Pokran and Shilp gram at Jaisalmer.  Keeping in view the lack of entrepreneurial skill in the district. Entrepreneurship development programs are proposed at Jaisalmer and Pokran under the sponsorship of SIDBI and State Government.  To draw the attention of potential entrepreneur's and to create the industrial awareness among them, industrial promotion campaigns are suggested at Jaisalmer and Pokran.  To augment the artisan's activities and to raise their earnings the appropriate skill development program are suggested. Simultaneously, to develop the entrepreneurship in rural and remote areas, rural EDP'S are also proposed at the location of the concentration of the artisans. It is also proposed to accelerate the activity of formation of co operative societies.
