JODHPUR MAGIC

Jodhpur is the capital of what used to be the Marwar kingdom. It is the gateway to the Great Indian Thar desert... Around Jodhpur: The kingdom of Marwar stretches across present-day Barmer, Jalore, Jodhpur, Nagaur and Pali districts. Large parts of this district are sandy and drought-prone. The ecology of the Thar desert is fragile; and water is a precious commodity. However, the Thar is densely populated for a desert. The terrain is characterised by dry scrub; and there is farming as well as herding activity. A wide range of traditional crafts are also practised.
