If legends are to be believed, Mandore Garden is located 9 km north of Jodhpur and is known as the birthplace of Ravana’s wife Mandodari.
Mandore Garden is situated in Mandore, once the ruling seat of the Pratihara dynasty.
The princess of the Pratiharas dynasty married King Rao Chunda of Rathore dynasty, and received the Mandore’s Junagarh Fort as a dowry at the wedding.
This garden is a part of the massive Mehrangarh Fort, and houses the famous Hall of Heroes and the temple of Three Hundred Million Gods. The garden also has a Government Museum, which is full of artefacts and old relics.
Mandore has been the capital of many Jodhpur kings, and has witnessed several invasions from different dynasties, including the Muslim rulers of Gujarat and Malwa. So, the capital was shifted to the hilltop Mehrangarh Fort, as it offers better safety and protection to the royal kingdom.
