Jaisalmer History: The city of Jaisalmer was founded by a Bhatti Rajput ruler, Rawal Jaisal in 1156 A.D. In the mid 13th century, Turkic ruler Alauddin Khalji sieged the city. This happened because Khalji was irate when Bhatti Rajputs looted his caravan on route to Sindh. The siege continued for a period of 9 years & ultimately the Rajput women committed Jauhar.
