Bada Bagh

Bada Bagh or Royal Cenotaphs of Jaisalmer is an oasis in the desert of Thar. Originally when built there were a dam, a water reservoir and lots of greenery having mango trees and trees of other fruits. The surprising greenery in the arid desert landscape of Jaisalmer is now known for the memorials and Chhatris of erstwhile rulers of this region. These days this garden complex is a prominent tourist attraction of Jaisalmer. Wonderfully sculpted cenotaphs and Chhatris of former rulers are the special attraction of Bada Bagh. The cenotaphs have beautifully carved Chhatris with exquisite chiseled pillars and inscriptions made on yellow sandstone. The architecture of the Chhatris and carvings made on ceiling are really fascinating. The landscape garden beside Bada Bagh is soothing to eyes and provides a green touch to the entire region. Tourist must watch the sunset here as they are most breathtaking, the Jaitsar Tank, which is a water reservoir and Jait Bandh, which is a dam are must watching places here. Evenings are the best time to visit Bada Bagh as the beautiful yellow sandstone cenotaphs appear golden in the rays of sunset.
