Malka Pol

Malka Pol is one of four historic gates in the fortified city wall of Jaisalmer, constructed in 1750 by Maharawal Mulraj. This sandstone gateway provides entrance to the old town area near Kalakar Colony. The gate is part of Jaisalmer's defensive architecture, which enclosed the settlement at the base of Jaisalmer Fort. Malka Pol represents the traditional Rajput urban planning with fortified entrances controlling access to the historic city.

Visitors can see the historic sandstone gate structure that forms part of Jaisalmer's 18th-century city fortifications. The gate is integrated into the living city fabric, surrounded by traditional buildings, shops, and local life. The area features narrow lanes typical of old Jaisalmer, with yellow sandstone architecture characteristic of the Golden City. Visitors experience authentic local atmosphere while passing through this functional historic entrance.

Malka Pol was constructed in 1750 as part of the fortified city wall built by Maharawal Mulraj to enclose the town at the base of Jaisalmer Fort. It is one of four important gateways (along with Gadhisar Pol, Amarsagar Pol, and Baron-Ki-Pol) that controlled access to the historic settlement. The gate represents traditional Rajput defensive urban planning.

The gate is part of Jaisalmer's living heritage as a fortified desert city. It reflects the traditional pol (gate) system of Rajput urban architecture and continues to serve as a functional entrance to the historic neighborhood.
