Perched
on the edge of the Great Thar Desert in the heart of
rural India, the unique fort at Khimsar offers a wide
range of experiences.
The fort was built by Rao Karamsiji, the 8th
son of the Jodhpur founder, Rao Jodha, who moved to
this region and founded the royal dynasty at Khimsar.
The construction of the
fort began in 1523 AD in the fairytale land of
majestic forts and palaces. The fort's battle-scarred
walls and turrets are a tell-tale reminder of
Khimsar's
 glorious
past. In mid 18th century, the royal family
moved in and a new 'zenana' (ladies' wing) was built
with finely carved windows in stone grills to provide
'purdah' or veil for ladies-in-waiting. Subsequently,
Thakur Onkar Singh built for himself a regal wing.
In
1997-98, the Khimsar Fort was awarded the Grand
Heritage classification by the Department of Tourism,
Government of India. A section of the fort still
remains the residence of the royal family of Khimsar.
