City Information

The village of Luni nestles in the shadow of the Fort walls and is a hub of activity with its many artisans fashioning metal, clay or wood into intricate forms and demonstrating the skills passed down over the centuries by their ancestors. The village elders solemnly reflect the changing times under the shady trees, while the children enjoy running around the narrow carefree streets. The women, swaying in their brilliant Rajasthani colors go about their daily chores to give water and sustenance to the village. A night all is quiet in Luni village and the fort, with its huge gates and protective walls stands proud and strong under the spectacular canopy of stars. Peace spreads out across the desert past the near by Luni River bed and to the city of Jodhpur 35 kilometers away.
