Prataparam / Jaisalmer. Albert Einstein said ‘The only thing you should know is the address of the library. When the name of Pokaran Thar comes, automatically a scene of desert and sand dunes starts forming in the mind, but someone would have thought that there is a place in the middle of these sand dunes, where there is an immense store of knowledge. The border district of Jaisalmer, located on the Indo-Pak border amidst the hot sand dunes of the desert, has its own identity on the world map. In this district, the famous scenic spot Bhadariarai Mata Temple is situated between Jaisalmer-Pokaran. Here Jagdamba Seva Samiti has laid the foundation of a huge library.
