While part 1 dealt with the town called Osian and Kuldevi Sachchiyay Mataji, this is all about how this place is an happening place as a Adventure tourism town.  The people have made use of Thar Desert and created a wonderful tourist attraction tons eith many Desert safari rides and safari camps. Before I write about the tourism part,let me take you the Rajasthan's famous Step well.  Of course this is an unused well but these step wells were the source of water for people and there were also shops that were there to make the step wells a good connecting neighborhood place.  Even if 1000 people are going to use gge step well at the sane time there will never be a situation where one has to cross the other either while going up or down.  What an ingenious engineering Feat by our ancestors. It is also believed that that there were treasure that they found in this step well which was used to build the maataji temple.  What a beautiful view of the temple from this place. The Adventure

Rajasthan Tour Dairies Day 1  We are starting our Trip from The city of Jodthpur. After reaching the hotel we went for lunch first.  Then we started  our trip to Osian city and to seek the blessings of Sachayay Mata.  Really a divine feeling.  Of course she sits on the hill top and you need to climb about 100 steps to reach the sanctum Santorum.  The temple is more than 300 years old but well maintained. The view from the top is phenomenal.  What an auspicious start to our Rajasthan tour Osian  (also spelt Osiyan) is an ancient town located in the Jodhpur District of Rajasthan state in western India. It is an oasis in the Thar Desert. The town is a panchayat village and the headquarters for Osian tehsil. It lies 69 km (43 mi) by road north of the district headquarters at Jodhpur, on a diversion off the main Jodhpur – Bikaner Highway. The under-construction Amritsar Jamnagar Expressway passes through this town.   An important pilgrimage centre for the Oswal Jain and Maheshwari commu
