Old Marwar capital north of Jodhpur, now a garden with red-sandstone royal cenotaphs, temples and a hall of folk heroes.
Mandore was the Rathore seat before Jodhpur was founded in 1459. Its gardens hold tall temple-style dewals (cenotaphs) of Jodhpur's rulers, built in red sandstone. The Hall of Heroes has large painted figures of local deities and folk heroes carved from rock. Ruins of the old fort sit on the hill behind.
