fabulous roof top restaurant desert haveli jaisalmer in the national monument jaisalmer fort






During my vist to india i did not meet the situation where i could felt relaxing and homely free atomsphere , when i occupied room in jaisalmer desert haveli guest house which indeed situated in the national monument/ museum and it self is a museum and i offered tea at roof top restaurant , it was amazing sitting on the roof top, just on the rampart at high altitude , from where i saw wide spread beautiful views of city side and important touristic points of jaisalmer, on asking i came to know that on the east side it was superbly constructed lake on the banks of it there are many monuments constructed called bagachi a place to make picnic / outing here tourists from all over the world visits and many birds from many distant countries also visits in the winter and in summer they returned some are siberian, russian host inform me and i also verified looking to those cranes /birds, the catch -mant area is very large in the way there are also traditional small rooms are constructed ( these were used by visitors who used to come from near by villages to jaisalmer city to sale/purchase goods on their camels and get night halt there)her they get water and open area to rest and relax for toilets they walked two to three km away from the lake area .
this was the only main source of drinking water in the kingdom time for jaisalmer people and it was watched day and night by the watch man posted by king so that no one can misuse the water and spoil the valuable water, as in desert area water is more valuable than milk , now a days there are many other sources like tube wells and the water of indra canel, in the morning sun seems to be risen from the lake it gives good view indian worships rising sun and put water itc as sun is coming to bless them they say sun is god , as they say water is god air is god earth is god sky is god , fire is god infact they are correct in some what sanse a man can not conquare these natural bodies , who is governing them to understand and to give name god is appropriate i do agree, the thing which is beyond our control that is almighty is there ,
and next i saw from roof top the royal glorious palaces of jaisalmer fort made up of local yellow stones with rich ornamental work on the front of these, nest are few jain temples top a example of indian architect marvelous art work on stone,
a chain like fort wall looks like serpentine way saluting u and welcoming tourists with great pleasure warming your heart, i saw the city side the life style of people who the are going on to work at home shops and their roof top these city area is beautiful surrounded with desert.
in the evening sun set seen is memorable and on the one side sun is setting slowly and other side lights of city starts twinkling, lighted city looked like a city is celebrating a function , small lights bulbs looks very much charming like a sky has also come one the earth..., early in the morning again on the one side sun starts rising darkness starts running and bulbs starts diminishing a unique scenery of city side touches to soul , it askes what is this how it is done daily who it is done who is governing these all and why ... the ...magic .. secrete ...is not God the creator giving us pleasure by all these man thinks he had mad these all but true is he creator is creating these all ...and allowing us to use these and to live on this earth..
