Trikuta Hill is the place on which is perched the Jaisalmer Fort. It is believed that Krishna had forecasted to Arjuna that one of his progeny down the line would set up a kingdom on the hill. The prophecy came true when Rawal Jaiswal, who belonged to the Yadava clan of Krishna, shifted his kingdom from Lodurva to Jaisalmer in 1196 due to repeated attacks by foreign invaders.
Jaisalmer flourished due to its strategic location on the trade route connecting Central Asia and the Far East. The legacy of the rich merchants and their havelis with intricately carved details can still be seen today inside the fort complex.
