Photo – Birds on a wire – Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Birds on a wire near Jaisalmer fort

The Jaisalmer Fort rises in the middle of the desert and shines in the morning sun thus earning the moniker “Sonar Kella” (The Golden Fort). The golden colour of the fort is due to the sandstone reflecting the rising or the setting sun. Sonar Kella was also the name of a detective novel by Satyajit Ray which was later made into a film.
