Here we stayed at Rawla jojawar, a little garrison fort that was once a major principality of the Royal house of Marwar. Bestowed with the title of Rao, the nobles looked after this little fiefdom for about two centuries after its construction in the 18th century.
This was rural Rajasthan at its best and we explored this small village by foot and got an insight into the life of the people in rural India. Serge and a few of the other boys from our tour had an impromptu game of cricket with the local children - the boys got beat down! The kids were amazing, not surprising cricket is the one thing that connects the country!
On the road to Jojawar we stopped off at another Temple that was once one of the prime pilgrimage destinations in Rajasthan. This ancient temple is mainly dedicated to Lord Shiva, yet other deities are worshipped here as well. The temple was decimated by an Afghan invasion and all the carvings had their noses chipped away to render them fallen.
