Bhenswara

Located just 16km from Jalore, and surrounded by temples and step wells, Bhenswara was granted to Thakur Jagat Singh Rathore in the 16th century because he saved the life of his Maharaja, Man Singh of Jodhpur. The castle with a Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), Zenana Chowk (market place) and Sirai Mahal (palace), has now been converted into a heritage hotel. The owners organise interesting safaris into outlying areas including Bhil villages and Rabari pastoral settlements and night (well OK early morning)drives to look for panther (which we did!).

Beautifully evocative images - thank you Steve. I deliberately chose to travel in that part of the world without a camera, so you have helped to reinforce my memories from that unforgetable place that was so rich & spellbinding, as well as being challenging, especially visiting as a tourist. Rather than serving as a statement of witness, your photos are perhaps a way of giving something back. They are a testiment to those remarkable & gracious people & their way of life.
