Legend has it that Lord Krishna, the divine architect of the universe, had a hand in creating Jaisalmer. In a mystical dream, he revealed the city's blueprint to Rawal Jaisal, a descendant of the Yadav Clan and Bhati Rajput.

Inspired by this vision, Rawal Jaisal embarked on a journey to build a city that would stand as a testament to his faith and the divine guidance he received.

The story of Jaisalmer is a tale of faith, determination, and the power of divine inspiration. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, with unwavering belief and the guidance of a higher power, extraordinary things can be achieved.

This Janmashtami, as we celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, let us also celebrate the legacy of Jaisalmer.

It's me, Aapka Ram! Today, I had the most funnest day ever in Jaisalmer, the sparkly golden city! ✨

You know how grown-ups sometimes need helpers when they go on trips? Well, since I'm still a little guy, I had some super cool friends from Team to show me around! They knew all the best places to play.

First, we went to see a GIANT gate called Akhe Pol the entrance of . It was sooooo big, it looked like it could touch the sky! I even peeked through a tiny hole to see all the people walking around like busy ants.

Next, we went to Gadisar Lake. Wowzers! It was the prettiest lake I've ever seen. The water sparkled like glitter.

My tummy started rumbling after that, so we followed our noses to the most amazing sweet shop ever - DHANIYE BHA KI DUKAAN! They had mountains of yummy treats! I even got the biggest jalebi you've ever seen! It was super sweet and tasted like magic candy!

Feeling all sugared-up, we went to explore more. We reached GOPA CHOWK, a marketplace that was BUZZING with people! There were colorful shops everywhere selling all sorts of cool stuff, and it sounded like a giant beehive with all the talking!

But the BEST part of the day was visiting the enormous sand mountains called Khuri & Sam Sand Dunes! They were like giant golden playgrounds! I had a blast rolling down the slopes, whooshing like a superhero!

Then, my Jaisalmer Blog Team friends showed me a super cool house with amazing carvings - Patwon Ki Haveli! It looked like a giant gingerbread house, all decorated and fancy!

Finally, we ended our adventure at Gandhi Chowk, another marketplace that felt like a never-ending maze! There were so many people and things to see, it was super exciting!

Jaisalmer is like a magical place with so many fun things to see and do! I can't wait to see what adventures tomorrow brings! Stay tuned for more stories from your favorite little explorer, Rama!

Will Meet Next Year to all of you.

Golden whispers in sun-warmed stone,
Secrets hidden, stories unknown.
Guards of time, in silent might,
Hold fast the legacy, day and night.
Seek the golden palace's embrace,
Where history whispers a timeless grace.
