Ludrava

Ludrava, also called Lodurva, was the capital of the Bhati rulers before Jaisal shifted his seat to Jaisalmer in the twelfth century. The older settlement lay among the sands northwest of the new fort. Its Jain temple, dedicated to Parshvanatha, remained a centre of worship after the political capital moved. The finely carved stone gateway and shrine preserve the work of patrons who renewed the sacred site over the centuries.
