Jaisalmer is named after Maharawal Jaisal Singh, a Rajput king who founded the city in 1156 AD. "Jaisalmer" means "the Hill Fort of Jaisal". Jaisalmer is sometimes called the "Golden City of India" because the yellow sand and the yellow sandstone used in every architecture of the city gives a yellowish-golden tinge to the city and its surrounding area.
Once upon a time when I was a college student, I watched a Hindi film called "Yaadein". If you've ever seen a Hindi film you'll know that it's full of colour,song,spectacle and drama. In Yaadein, I saw the vivid beauty of Rajasthan and I've been enamoured since then. Thank you Jinesh for this beautiful card and stamps!
