Mehrangarh Fort
The blue city, sun city, the gateway of Thar....all these are synonyms of Jodhpur, the romantic and splendor of Rajasthan. It is called blue city due to blue houses which are considered holy as it is linked with Lord Shiva.
The city was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, the Rathore ruler of the kingdom of Mewar. Located in the overland route between Delhi and Gujarat, it soon became a flourishing trade center for the traffic of copper, silk, sandalwood, dates, and coffee.
Umaid Bhawan Palace and Museum
this is actually a rather new palace whose construction started in the year 1929 by Maharaja Umaid Singh. Once the main residence of the Jodhpur royal family this place is also now a star hotel and a museum. If you are not a guest at the hotel then your access is limited to the museum section.
