About Surya Gate
Surya gate, a 12th-century gate in the fabled Jaisalmer Fort, is a popular tourist attraction in and of itself. The Akhai gate, Surya gate, Ganesh gate, and Hawa gate are the fort's four entrances or gateways. The gates are well-known for the stunning carvings that adorn the walls and passageways. Because of its majesty, it is a must-see attraction in Jaisalmer. The fact that these gates are built on a bend is said to be due to military strategy; gates were formerly torn down by elephants, but with gates built on a turn, the elephants lacked the necessary strength to breakthrough!
