Mah: Book on temples in Jodhpur launched

Mumbai, Dec 30: In the age of travel, a mother-son duo- Jyoti and Vaibhav Kathju - have launched an aptly titled book ''Temples of Jodhpur'' here.

''Its a new concept, and the book takes you inside forts of Jodhpur apart from the usually more well known palaces,'' Bollywood director Sunil Darshan, who launched the book on Friday, said.

''Though meant for travellers and tourists, it is scientifically designed with corresponding Marwari folk songs, Sanskrit ''Shlokas'' and Hindi rhymes,'' co-author Jyoti Kathju said.

Though there are 300 temples in the city of Jodhpur, the book focuses on 18 lesser known ones and carries some impressive images and details on its historical, religious and architectural heritage.

It also carries road-map alongside each stucture which proves invaluable for the adventurous and backpacking travellers.
