Jaisal in 1156 A.D, this remote desert city is famous for the Jaisalmer
fort, epitomized by Satyajit Ray in the ‘Shonar Kella’ ( The Golden
Fortress), an epic celluloid saga. The city is also famous for its
havelies, cobbled streets, ancient Jain temples and a festive gaiety
that reverberates across the shimmering sands of the Thar desert. The
intricately latticed havelies with conspicuous facades served as the
inspiration for the intricately carved jharokhas on the lounge ceiling.
It is done on teak wood with a mirror backing. The famous Jawahar Niwas
façade has been depicted in the state lounge cone, metal, copper and
silver medium. The royal insignia adorns the valance of the blinds. The
colour scheme reflects the beige of the desert sands. |
