Tanot Mata Temple

Have you ever seen Bollywood movie 'Border' made by J.P. Dutta? The temple shown in that movie was this temple. If you have planned to go to Jaisalmer than make a schedule to visit this temple. The best time to visit this place is from October to February. It is said that Pakistan dropped many bombs over this temple during battle of Longewala in 1965. None of the bombs dropped by Pakistani Army explode and now there is a museum showing the unexploded bombs.


Tanot Mata Temple is about 100 kms. from Jaisalmer. So if you have your own vehicle or a private taxi than it may not take more than 2 hrs to reach there. Whole route is full of large sand dunes and very less population and this completely depicts 'The Thar Desert'.
Indo-Pak border is also near to this temple. So if you interested in visiting international border than you have to take permission from the BSF personnel's. Carry your ID proof with you.
