MyTravel Europe: Jodhpur

Jodhpur India

Jodhpur is the second biggest city in the state of Rajasthan, India. It's often referred to as the Gateway to Thar, since it's situated right on the edge of the Thar Desert. It's also known as the Sun City because the sun shines nearly every day of the year. Jodhpur is also recognized as the Blue City, a fitting name since most houses in the old city are painted in various shades of blue. This is especially noticeable on the north side of the town, known as Brahmpuri. The Mehrangarh Fort, the largest fort in all of Rajasthan, towers over the city. The term "Fort" doesn't quite capture the size of the complex, which contains the Maharaja's palace, several temples, and a large garden that is still cultivated today. Notable features within the palace include the Pearl Hall or Moti Mahal, the Mirror Hall or Sheesh Mahal, the Flower Hall or Phool Mahal, the palace's inner sanctum, Zenana Deodi, and the Chamunda Mataji Temple. The city's forts and palaces, temples and havelis, culture and tradition, spices and fabrics, colors and textures, and thriving handicrafts industry all combine to make this historic city worth visiting.
