Osian

What is summer like at Osian?

Quick answer

Osian, in Jodhpur: an old temple town north of Jodhpur, Hindu and Jain shrines in the scrub Winter if you can choose. A day from Jodhpur, early, with water and a hat. Not after a Mehrangarh morning.

Detailed answer

Osian is in Jodhpur district, in the Marwar part of Rajasthan. People usually combine it with Jodhpur. From the usual hub this is a full day. It is a poor clip-on to another fort the same morning.

The hot months at Osian: April heat is real. The blue lanes are harsh at midday. May is a season to avoid if you can. Stone radiates heat. June is very hot and dry until any rain arrives. Winter if you can choose. This is a reason to shorten the day, not a dare.

District Jodhpur, region Marwar, hub Jodhpur. Shoes off. Modest dress. No leather where the Jain temple forbids it. Exposed. Summer is brutal. The living shrine sets photography. Court or tradition named in the note: an early temple town.

Neighbours named with Osian: Jodhpur; the Phalodi road. Food, kept separate from the monument: Eat in Jodhpur. Carry water.
