Pali is named after the Paliwal Brahmins
who once inhabited the area. Ancient Pali housed a highly evolved civilization.
The land, was leased by the then chief of Mandore (the former capital of Jodhpur
district), was cultivated diligently by the Paliwals who abandoned their former
priestly profession.
The temples of Somnath and Naulakha are very old. Naulakha Jain temple has elaborate
carvings while Somnath Shiv temple is known for its handsome bulling having
exquisite mouldings.
