Mandore, Jodhpur
Situated 9 kms north of Jodhpur, Mandore was the capital of Marwar prior to the foundation of Jodhpur. Today, its extensive gardens with high rock terraces make it a popular attraction. The gardens also contain the cenotaphs of Jodhpur rulers including the soaring memorial to Maharajadhiraj Ajit Singh. The Hall of Heroes contains 15 figures carved out of a rock wall. The brightly painted figures represent Hindu deities, and local heroes on horseback. The Shrine of 33 Crore (330 million) God is painted with figures of deities and spirits.
