Jodhpur is one of the most popular cities in the state of Rajasthan. It is also known as the Blue City because it has many houses painted in blue.
Start sightseeing with the Mehrangarh Fort that dominates the sky line of the city. Built entirely of red sandstones, the fort is perched atop of a hill. Standing as a testimony to various battles and bloodshed, the strong walls of the fort seem to have many secrets buried in. The fort has palatial period rooms, extensive courtyards and alluring latticed windows. Several sections of the fort preserve the priceless belongings of the royals such as arms, palanquins, artifacts and textiles.
Later, take a short walk from the Mehrangarh Fort to reach another prominent landmark of the city-Jaswant Thada. It is a shimmering white marble mausoleum that was built in the memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
