In Rajasthan, Jaisalmer district has the largest area of desert terrain. The temple of Tanot Rai in Tanot located on the Indo-Pak international border. It’s 125 kms to the west of Jaisalmer district headquarters and is the prime attraction for Indian tourists. The Border Security Force maintains this temple. It performs puja and devotional celebrations time to time. Also, this place of faith for the Indian soldiers and BSF jawans has been portrayed in the Hindi movie – Border, a senior tourism officer told IANS.

At a close proximity from the temple, the international Indo-Pak border is located. It’s a major attraction for the visiting tourists. Also, there’s a fort near this place known as Kishangarh, made of bricks and mortar.
