 | | Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) - 556 sec
Jaisalmer is located at 26.92° N 70.9° E. It has an average elevation of 229 metres and situated on the border of India and Pakistan in West Rajasthan.
The majority of the inhabitants of Jaisalmer are Yadav Bhatti Rajputs, who take their name from an ancestor named Bhatti, renowned as a warrior when the tribe were located in the Punjab. Shortly after this the clan was driven southwards, and found a refuge in the Indian desert, which was henceforth its home. Deoraj, a famous prince of the Bhatti family, is esteemed the real founder of the Jaisalmer dynasty, and with him the title of rawal commenced. In 1156 Rawal Jaisal, the sixth in succession from Deoraj, founded the fort and city of Jaisalmer, and made it his capital as he moved from his former capital at Lodhruva (which is situated about 15 km to the south-east of Jaisalmer). In 1294, the Bhattis so enraged the emperor Ala-ud-din Khilji that his army captured and sacked the fort and city of Jaisalmer, so that for some time it was quite deserted. After this there is nothing to record till the time of Rawal Sahal Singh, whose reign marks an epoch in Bhatti history in that he acknowledged the supremacy of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The Jaisalmer princes had now arrived at the height of their power, but from this time till the accession of Rawal Mulraj in 1762 the fortunes of the state rapidly declined, and most of its outlying provinces were lost. In 1818 Mulraj entered into political relations with the British. Maharawal Salivahan, born in 1887, succeeded to the chiefship in 1891.
The Maharajas of Jaisalmer trace their lineage back to Jaitsimha, a ruler of the Bhatti Rajput clan. The major opponents of the Bhatti Rajputs were the powerful Rathor clans of Jodhpur and Bikaner. They used to fight battles for the possession of forts, waterholes or cattle. Jaisalmer was positioned strategically and was a halting point along a traditional trade route traversed by the camel caravans of Indian and Asian merchants. The route linked India to Central Asia ,Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa and the West.
During the Islamic invasion of India, Jaisalmer escaped direct Muslim conquest due to its geographical situation in the desert region. The Rawals of Jaisalmer agreed to pay an annual tribute to the Delhi Sultans. The first siege of Jaisalmer occurred during the reign of Allaud-din Khilji. It was provoked by Bhattis' raid on a caravan filled with treasure. According to local ballads, the Bhattis defended the fort for seven years until the enemy army forced beached the ramparts. Bhattis, facing certain defeat, proclaimed the rite of johar. Later, Sultan Ferozshah also sieged Jaisalmer after the rulers of Jaisalmer raided his camp at Anasagar lake near Ajmer. The siege led to another johar. Jaitsimha's son Duda perished in the attack. Duda's descendants ruled over Jaisalmer for about two centuries. Duda's descendant Lunakarna had a fight with Humayun when the latter passed through Jaisalmer en route to Ajmer. Mughal emperor Akbar was married to one of the Jaisalmer princesses.
Later, Jaisalmer was ruled by a noble called Sabala Simha, who won the patronage of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for services rendered in his Peshawar campaign.
Jaisalmer was one of the last states to sign a treaty with the British. During the British Raj, Jaisalmer was the seat of a princely state of the same name, ruled by the Bhati clan of rajputs. The present descendant is Brijraj Singh. Though the city is under the governance of the Government of India, a lot of welfare work is carried out by him and his family. The Royal Family still commands a lot of respect from the people.
Traditionally, the main source of income was the levies on the caravans. However, the glory of Jaisalmer faded when Bombay emerged as a port and the sea trade replaced the traditional land routes. The partition of India in 1947 lead to closing of all the trade routes on the Indo-Pak border and rendered Jaisalmer a drought-prone desert backwater on the international border. Ironically, skirmishes between India and Pakistan gave Jaisalmer a strategic importance and made it serviceable as an army supply depot. Later, the Rajasthan Canal served to revive the surrounding desert areas. Roads and railroads were then built, knitting the hitherto remote town with the rest of Rajasthan.

| | Jodhpur (Rajasthan) - 269 sec
Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, a Rajput chief belonging to the Rathore clan. Rao Jodha succeeded in conquering the surrounding territory and thus founded a state which came to be known as Marwar. As Rao Jodha hailed from the nearby town of Mandore, that town initially served as the capital of this state; however, Jodhpur soon took over that role, even during the lifetime of Rao Jodha. The city was located on the strategic road linking Delhi to Gujarat. This enabled it to profit from a flourishing trade in opium, copper, silk, sandals, date palms and coffee.
Early in its history, the state became a fief under the mughal empire, owing fealty to them while enjoying some internal autonomy. During this period, the state furnished the mughals with several notable generals such as Maharaja Jaswant Singh. Jodhpur and its people benefited from this exposure to the wider world: new styles of art and architecture made their appearance and opportunities opened up for local tradesmen to make their mark across northern India.
Aurangzeb briefly sequesterated the state (c.1679) on the pretext of a minority, but the rightful ruler was restored to the throne after Aurangzeb died in 1707. The mughal empire declined gradually after 1707, but the Jodhpur court was beset by intrigue; rather than benefitting from circumstances, Marwar descended into strife and invited the intervention of the Marathas, who soon supplanted the mughals as overlords of the region. This however did not make for stability or peace; 50 years of ruinous wars and humiliating treaties dissipated the wealth of the state, which sought and gratefully entered into 'subsidiary alliance' with the British in 1818
During the British Raj, the state of Jodhpur was the largest in Rajputana, if size be reckoned by land area. Jodhpur prospered under the peace and stability that were a hallmark of this era. Its merchants, the Marwaris, flourished without let or limit and came to occupy a position of dominance in trade across India. In 1947, when India became independent, the state merged unto the union of India and Jodhpur became the second city of Rajasthan.
La ville indienne de Jodhpur (जोधपुर), fondée par Rao Jodha, le chef du clan des Râthor, en 1459, est la ville bleue du Rajasthan. Ancienne capitale du Mârvar, situé à 340 km de Jaipur, la capitale de l'état, c'est sa deuxième ville par la population.
En 1193, l'afghan Muhammad Ghûrî s'empare de la capitale du clan Râthor, Kânauj. Ceux-ci s'enfuit et s'installe à Pali dans la région où verra le jour Jodhpur. La clan prospère, mais sa nouvelle capitale obtenue par alliance, Mandore, se révèle mal pratique, aussi ses hommes construisent une forteresse sur la site actuel qui offre une bien plus grande sécurité. Le chef Rao Jodha donne son nom à l'endroit et à partir de 1459, le fort symbolise la prospérité du clan et son expansion territoriale au Rajasthan.
Jodhpur se trouve sur la route stratégique qui relie Delhi au Goujerat et la ville bénéficie du commerce de l'opium, du cuivre, de la soie, du santal, des dattes et du café.
Bientôt, les Moghols au pouvoir à Delhi souhaitent partager les richesses et l'avantage stratégique de Jodhpur, aussi l'empereur Akbar fait alliance avec le clan en épousant la sœur de son chef Râo Udai Singh, ce qui assure une aide militaire au clan dans ses campagnes au Goujerat.
Mais cette alliance est rompue au milieu du XVIIe siècle, lorsque le chef Jaswant Singh joint ses forces à celles de Shâh Jahân contre Aurangzeb. Ce dernier, victorieux, pille Jodhpur et force ses habitants à se convertir à l'islam. Le nouveau maharâja Ajit Singh, le fils de Jaswant Singh, est assassiné et les Moghols réclament son trône. Son fils Ajit Singh II, alors enfant, se cache durant 30 ans dans un minuscule village de l'Himalaya puis revient à Jodhpur, en 1707, après la mort d'Aurangzeb et récupère son trône.
Le XVIIIe siècle connaît beaucoup de guerres sanglantes entre Jodhpur et les autres états rajputes de Jaipur et d'Udaipur. En 1818, Jodhpur signe un traité avec les Britanniques qui lui apporte paix et prospérité.
Le dernier maharâja d'avant l'indépendance - Umaid Singh - d'après lequel est nommé le Umaid Bhavan Palace - était le grand-père du présent maharâja Gaj Singh.

| | Osian (Rajasthan) - 192 sec
Osian (Osiyan) is an ancient town located in the Jodhpur District of Rajasthan state in western India. It is an oasis in the Thar Desert, 65 km north of the district headquarters at Jodhpur, on a diversion off the main Jodhpur -- Bikaner Highway.
Osian is famous as home to the cluster of ruined Brahmanical and Jain temples dating from the 8th to 11th centuries. The city was a major religious centre of the kingdom of Marwar during the Pratihara dynasty. Of the 18 shrines in the group, the Surya or Sun Temple and the later Kali temple, Sachiya Mata Temple and the main Jain temple dedicated to Lord Mahavira stands out in their grace and architecture.
The nearest airport is at Jodhpur. National Highway 11 passes through Osian. Osian Railway Station is situated on the Jodhpur -- Phalodi line of North Western Railway.
Osian is a small village sixty-five kilometers north-east of Jodhpur. It is an important Jain pilgrimage center for Oswal Jain community. The (Mahavira, महावीर) Temple built here in A. D. 783 is an important tirtha for Jain built by Pratihara King Vatsa raja. The Jain Harivamsa Purana refers to Vatsa raja's rule in Saka year 705 (A. D. 783). He must have held sway over Upakesapura, i.e., Osian as an inscriptions of Vikram Samvat 1013 (A. D. 956) found from there refers to this place.
In "Nabhinandana-jirnodhara Prabandha" -:Upakesapura has been described as the 'Svastika' (a mystical mark denoting good luck) of the earth, an ornament of the desert endowed with natural beauty where the groves are full of trees and the noble ascetics are wifeless (adara), but amongst the citizens none are like that; where the beautiful damsels and the peacocks educate each other without formal instructions merely by observing each other's graceful gait; where the tanks are replete with fully blossomed lotuses and the nocturnal darkness is dispelled by the light emanating from the luminous gems and where the rays of moon entering during the night through latticed windows in the houses of fair ladies, separated from their spouses, appear like the silver-arrows hurled by Cupid. Shorn of its usual literary exaggerations, the description does indicate that Osian was an important flourishing town then. The derivation of the cast name Oswal from Osian - the place name also sounds acceptable as it is a common practice in India to derive the family names from place names.

| | Udaipur (Rajasthan) - 352 sec
Udaipur is located at 24.58° N 73.68° E. It has an average elevation of 598 metres. Located at the foothills of the Aravalli Range, Udaipur lies in southern Rajasthan near the Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh borders.
[edit]
Udaipur was the capital of the Rajput kingdom of Mewar, ruled by Ranawats of the Sisodia clan. The ancient capital of Mewar was Chittor or Chittorgarh, located on the Banas River northeast of Udaipur. Legend has it that Maharana Udai Singh came upon a hermit while hunting in the foothills of the Aravalli Range. The hermit blessed the king and asked him to build a palace on the spot and it would be well protected. Udai Singh established a residence there. In 1568 the Mughal emperor Akbar captured Chittor, and Udai Singh moved the capital to the site of his residence, which became the city of Udaipur. As the Mughal empire weakened, the Sisodia ranas, and later maharanas, reasserted their independence and recaptured most part of Mewar except the fort of Chittor. Udaipur remained the capital of the state, which became a princely state of British India in 1818. After India's Independence in 1947, the Maharaja of Udaipur acceded to the Government of India, and Mewar was integrated into India's Rajasthan state
Udaipur is famous around the world as the City Of Lakes or Venice of The East. The Pichola Lake, Fateh Sagar, Udai Sagar and Swaroop Sagar in this city are considered some of the most beautiful lakes in the state. Fateh Sagar contains two small islands, one of which contains USO, or Udaipur solar observatory, and the other one has a beautiful garden called Nehru Garden.
It is known for its Rajput-era palaces. Particularly famous is the Lake Palace, which entirely covers a small island in the Pichola Lake. Many of the palaces have been converted into luxury hotels. The City Palace, or the Palace of the then King of Mewar, is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the city.
Udaipur is also home to the Udaipur Solar Observatory, one of the six stations participating in the international Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG) which is aimed at the determination of the physical properties of the solar interior. Udaipur is one of India's most celebrated tourist destinations with a peculiarity and culture of its own. •1.2 million tourists a year •Rs 1800 crore annual spend •3 hours away from Ahmedabad •Total district population of 2.5 million •City population of 1.1 million •One of the highest per capita car population in India •Some of the world's most luxurious hotels like The Oberoi Udaivilas and The Lake Palace Hotel •Commerce looking up and tourism growing at a rate of 22% annually

| | Murali: Rajasthan is not unbeatable - 229 sec
In a TIMES NOW special -- Graeme Smith and Muthiah Muralitharan take on each other as Chennai hope to seal the semi-final berth with a win over Rajasthan. Speaking exclusively to TIMES NOW's correspondent Harini Rana, both Smith and Murali looked ready for their match.
Harini: Graeme, do you think the Chennai Super Kings could make it here?
Graeme: Well they are very close. I think the last couple of spots looks like there is tension around with couple of teams pushin for them. I think Chennai are probably sitting pretty in the last four spot. It is nice to also know that we also don't worry about us, but still we have three games to go.
Harini: Murali, they (Rajasthan Royals) have nothing to lose. We saw it with Bangalore Royal Challengers and they tumbled you?
Murali: In Twenty20 cricket it happens. But hopefully Graeme will take it easy on us and the players and make sure to give the win to us.
Harini: Any plans for that Graeme?
Graeme: We would like to perform well. I think couple of the guys would be rested for the next 2-3 games. We have a good squad of guys, we have good energy so lets see what happens. But, we play to win every game and I think that is important.
Harini: Murali, Is it intimidating? Rajasthan Royals have looked unbeatable throughout the tournament.
Murali: I think any team is beatable. There is no team that is unbeatable. The Rajasthan Royals are having a good run. It happens to some teams. If we get into semis it is a knock out stage and four sides can beat each other.
Harini: Is the Rajasthan Royals going easy on Chennai?
Graeme: No I think we had a good training session. It would be nice to win here and carry on from where we left. Our team has a lot of confidence and all the guys are playing well.
Harini: The batsmen have been doing well. But you have had a bad run in this tournament?
Murali: Depends in this form of game. In four overs a bowler tries to do his best and I think I have maintained a decent economy rate but have not taken wickets. I think it is going to be an interesting game. We need one win out of two so hopefully we can make it.
Harini: Graeme, would you go all out when Murali bowls or respect the bowler?
Graeme: First I have to know what he is bowling at me that itself is a big challenge. Murali is a world class bowler and all of us who have played international cricket respects what he has achieved in the game and the next match won't be different.
Harini: Are you going to flight the bowl against the left hander?
Murali: Spinners always flight the bowl. I will try my best and someone will win the battle eventually.
Harini: Any message for Chennai Super Kings?
Graeme: I think every 20-20 game is exciting because it is hard to predict which is why it is exciting. The match against the Super kings will be exciting as well.
Harini: Do you think Chennai can make it to the semis?
Murali: Definitely we will make it to the semis. We have a very good chance.

| | Amber Fort Jaipur. Rajasthan - 167 sec
Amber is situated about 11 kilometres from Jaipur and was the ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhawa clan of Amber, before the capital was shifted in the plains to present day Jaipur.
The Amber Fort set in picturesque and rugged hills is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Constructed by Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and completed by Sawai Jai Singh I the fort is made in red sand stone and white marble. The rugged forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise with a beautiful fusion of art and architecture. Amber is the classic and romantic fort- palace with a magnificent aura. The interior wall of the palace depicts expressive painting scenes with carvings, precious stones and mirror settings. In the foreground is the Maota Lake providing a breathtaking look. Built mainly for the warring enemies as a safe place, the heavily structured walls could defend the residents within the ramparts of the fort.

Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan state. Built of pink stucco in imitation of sandstone, the city is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets which are laid out into six quarters separated by broad streets 34 m wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. The Palace quarter encloses a sprawling palace complex (the Hawa Mahal, or palace of winds), formal gardens, and a small lake (wikipedia).

This is a short documentary of our trek for ten days into the Thar Desert from Jaisalmer, an ancient city in Rajasthan, India. With just three camels; Papu, Lalu, and Babaloo and our trusted guide Rhman, we set out with all the food and water necessary for the foray. We trekked about 20 km per day going 7 to 8 hours on camel back. We slept on top of the dunes at night and battled dung beetles and the occasional snake. The people of the desert are incredibly hospitable and friendly and we had some amazing interactions. We got to know our camels intimately as well as our guide a hard working man who is passionate about life.

| | The fort of Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) - 276 sec
Chittorgarh (also Chittor, Chittaur, or Chittaurgarh) is an ancient city in Rajasthan state of western India. It lies on the Berach River, a tributary of the Banas, and is the administrative headquarters of Chittorgharh District and a former capital of the erstwhile kingdom of Mewar.
The Kingdom of Mewar was founded by Bappa Rawal, of the Guhilot (or Gehlot/Guhila) clan of Rajputs, who established himself as ruler of Mewar in 734, with Chittor garh (Chittor fort) as his capital. Chittorgarh was captured in 1303 by Ala ud din Khilji, Sultan of Delhi, but was recaptured in 1326 by Hammir Singh, a scion of the same Gehlot clan. The dynasty (and clan) fathered by him came to be known by the name Sisodia after the village where he was born.
By the 16th century, Mewar had become the leading Rajput state. Rana Sangha of Mewar led a combined Rajput forces against the Mughal emperor Babur in 1527, but was defeated at the Battle of Khanua. After the Mughal Emperor Akbar captured Chittorgarh in 1568, the capital was moved west to Udaipur, in the foothills of the Aravalli Range, where Rana Udai Singh II had established a residence in 1559. Udaipur remained the capital of Mewar until it acceded unto the union of India in 1947, and Chittorgarh gradually lost its importance.
However, Chittorgarh remains replete with historic associations and hold a special place in the hearts of many Rajputs, as it was a bastion of the clan at a time when every other stronghold had succumbed to invasion. The name Chittor derives from Chitrangada Mori a ruler of Panwar clan who laid the foundation of the fort. Chittor or Chitrakot or circular kot(wall) (wikipedia)
