They are built on elevated platforms and adorned with intricate carvings, portraying a mix of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. The gardens also feature a government museum, 'Hall of Heroes', and a temple to 33 crore gods. This lush green garden complex is part of the more extensive Mandore fort, which includes the ruins of the old Mandore fort and palaces. The Masterpiece here is the cenotaph of Maharaja Ajit Singh, built-in 1793. A visit to the Mandore Gardens offers a blend of historical significance with natural beauty, providing a tranquil retreat from the bustling city of Jodhpur.
