Jodhpur, the erstwhile capital of Marwar, is known for the grand and imposing Mehrangarh Fort and the opulent and magnificent Umaid Bhavan Palace. But few realise that on the outskirts of the city of Jodhpur is Mandore, the first capital of the state of Marwar and home to some exquisite monuments going back centuries. The region of Marwar gained prominence during the medieval period when the Rathore kingdom of Marwar was established, so it might surprise you to learn that the region’s history goes back to the Gupta period. – The town of Mandore, which is believed to have existed since the Gupta period, is said to be named after ‘Mandavya’, a Hindu sage. It was known as Maddodara, Mandowar and Mandavyapura-Durga in ancient times. Archaeological excavations in and around Mandore have revealed Gupta-era remains, including 4th century CE inscriptions as well as a monolith representing scenes from Krishna Lila dating to the 5th century CE. Mandore | LHI The Mandore Pratiharas, a branch of the Gurjar Pratiharas, established a small kingdom here in the 6th century CE. Their ruler, Rajilla, built the ramparts of what would become the Junagadh Fort. They also built some exceptional Hindu and Jain temples here. The Pratiharas went into decline and Mandore began to face the brunt of attacks from Delhi and was in fact occupied by the Khiljis from 1292 to 1395 CE. – The Pratiharas thereafter decided to join hands with the upcoming Rathores to safeguard themselves. They forged a marriag...

By India Today Web Desk: The National War Memorial was on Monday (February 25) inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi near India Gate, New Delhi. The memorial, conceptualised after the Indo-China war was fought in 1962, has been constructed as a tribute to soldiers who sacrificed their lives while protecting the country. Commenting on the National War Memorial, Lieutenant General PS Rajeshwar earlier said that it is a tribute to the bravest soldiers who fought for the country. "It epitomizes a rich saga of courage, valour and selfless sacrifice made by our heroes in the rich military tradition," he added. The National War Memorial consists of 4 concentric circles (Amar, Veerta, Tyaga, Suraksha Chakra) around a 15-meter tall central obelisk with the eternal flame, bronze and stone murals, graphic panels and busts of the 21 Param Veer Chakra awardees. A project was finally approved in 2015 to build the NWM after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about his vision to build such a monument in 2014. History The memorial was envisaged in 1960 when armed forces in the country had proposed an NWM to commemorate fallen war heroes. It took six decades for the memorial to come into existence. As demands grew stronger, the UPA government in 2006 constituted a Group of Minister (GoM) headed by Pranab Mukherjee-before he became President-to examine the demand. It was then decided to set up the National War Memorial in the vicinity of the India Gate, which itself is a tribute to sol...
