Jaisalmer Fort was built by Bhati Rajputs, but lost prominence after partition of India. The fort was brought to cinema by director Satyajit Ray in his Bengali film Sonar Kella, bringing generations of Bengali tourists to visit Jaisalmer. It is a 'living' fort in Rajasthan which is still inhabited.
