Mandore Cenotaphs, Jodhpur

Mandore is 9kms from Jodhpur and is primarily known for its gardens and cenotaphs of Jodhpur rulers. It is also infested with the langur monkeys. A notice board at the entrance clearly forbids one from feeding the monkeys but people come with eatiers and strangely potatoes to feed the monkey gods. The cenotaphs are elaborate and have beautiful sculptures of gods, goddesses, kings and queens on them. The temples are much like the temples of South India in shape and design. Mandore was the capital of Marwar region before Jodhpur city was established.
