Geography & terrain

Mandore lies in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, 9 km from Jodhpur and 340 km from Jaipur — the garden of cenotaphs of the region, its Marwar memorials, the temples and the gardens set on the old capital's site.

History & culture

The site's story runs with the Marwar capital — the capital of the Pratihara kings and the old city before the Jodhpur's founding, with the site's modern role as the garden of the Rathore cenotaphs and the home of the hall of heroes; the site's history of the 6th–15th century rule and the 18th-century memorial building, gives Mandore its cenotaph-garden character.
