Fort
Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of elegance and
symmetry in Indian architecture of the last century. The
entire fortress is carved out of the famous red sandstone
of Jodhpur and with its ornately carved latticework friezes
and intricate "Jharokas"; it exquisitely captures
the romance and grace of a bygone age. The fort is composed
of a lyrical complex of courtyards towers, water, wheels,
stables, passages and unexpected stairways to secret pavilions
and panoramic roof tops spanning the village below and the
Thar horizon beyond. |
