About 15km northwest of Jaisalmer are the deserted ruins of Lodhruva, the ancient capital before the move to Jaisalmer. The Jain temples , rebuilt in the late 1970s, are sole reminders of the city’s former magnificence. The main temple enshrines a finely wrought silver image of Parasnath, the 23rd tirthankar . Apparently a cobra lives in the complex. A taxi will cost about Rs700 and will include a visit to Amar Sagar.
