Lodurva, the ancient capital of the Bhattis, is 16 km from Jaisalmer. Its
ruins are visited for the great Jain temple and the Kalpataru, a mythical
tree of wish fulfillment. Lodurva has a great number of peacocks that hover
around the temple walls lending spectacular colour to the dry and stony
landscape. Amar Sagar is a grand artificial reservoir for water with a
temple and a promenade on the bank that is a lovely place for a picnic.
