Sonar Garh Fort Jaisalmer is situated on Trikuta hill.
The fort is built with yellow sandstone and is also
known as Sonar Kila (Golden Fort). This fort wearing
a golden blanket is a photographer's delight and an
ideal place to get familiar with the history and architecture
of the region. As the sun shines in the desert, Sonar
Garh Fort in Jaisalmer sparkles like a gold. The first
foundation stone of the Sonar Garh Fort was laid down
by Bhatti Chief Jaisal in 1156 AD. At present, the Golden
Fort accommodates around one-fourth population of the
old city. The fort showcases a harmonious blend of Rajput
and Islamic architectural design. For those taking a
tour of Sonar Garh Fort, Suraj Pol, Ganesh Pol, Akshya
Pol and Hawal Pol are major attractions. Tourists can
also visit Jain temples devoted to Sambhavanthji and
Rikhabdevji located in close proximity to the fort.
