Mandore Gardens

  • Address: Mandore, 8 km (5 mi) north of Jodhpur, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Fodor's Review:

Within the old Marwar capital at Mandore, these gardens house the exquisitely sculpted red-sandstone davals (memorials) to former rulers. The Hall of Heroes depicts 16 colorfully painted heroes and deities carved from a single piece of stone. The small museum on the grounds has sculptures from the 5th to the 9th centuries as well as ivory and lacquer work. There's even a cactus nursery. Lots of picnics and dal baati churma feasts held here, but unfortunately the gardens have grown dirty and are not well-maintained.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Gardens daily sunrise-sunset, museum Sat.-Thurs. 10-4
