Jaisalmer Fort's impressive complex of seven Jain temples, connected by small corridors and stairways, were built between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries with yellow and white marble shrines and exquisite sculpted motifs covering the walls, ceilings and pillars. It's best to visit before 11am to see the first two, early-opening temples, then come back when the rest open at 11am.
