STREETS OF JAISALMER
A GOLDEN AND WARM EXPERIENCE
-Durva Kamat
What makes a city even more alluring? – its people with their personified aura , thriving to be noticed. Warm and welcoming, they have a special way of getting around and hanging out with tourists. The houses built in close vicinity create a sense of oneness between the communities. Every individual has a story of their own experience in the city of Jaisalmer, even though the struggle to survive has been quite a task to the people due to low occupational and income businesses; the conurbation as a whole has never ignored their needs.
The older generation of the city often wonder as to what would happen if the heritage of the city is transformed into better versions of the same. Would the essence of the city get lost in the new world?

Jaisalmer as a city has a lot to offer besides its rich, nomadic desert culture and food. The rustic beauty of any city can be seen in its streets and alleyways. A city in its true essence can be visibly seen on its streets, where the community interacts, rejoices and celebrates in the most unique way.
