December 1, 2014. Jaisalmer, part 2

This town is called the Golden City, due to the color of the buildings.

A custom in this town is to paint a mural indicating the wedding of their children.  The elephant is a sign of good luck, as our guide is pointing out.

Puppet-making is famous here.

Beautiful architecture.

Then, we went to the fort.  Unlike forts in other towns, this one is still in use, with shops, restaurants and hotels.
