Holidays in Jodhpur
Jodhpur is the second, after Udaypur, the largest city of Rajasthan, standing at the very edge of Tar Desert.
Jodhpur is often called a blue city because many houses are painted blue.
This town once was the capital of the ancient state of Marwar, which means the land of death is probably linked to the harsh climate of the desert. Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by one of the Princess of Rajputov's Dynasty, Rao Jodha, whose origin is from the famous Rama, the hero of the ancient Indian epic of Ramayan.
It's from the lower city and the enormous strength of Mehrangarh, standing on the top of the hill and surrounded by the wall, 10 kilometres long. Palaces, temples and office spaces are located behind the anchorages. The wall surrounding all the building has seven gates through which the palaces go. There is Jaswant Thada in the upper half of the road (Jaswant Thada), where the Konotafia (grobs) of the former Princess of the City are located, and there is a beautiful memorial. Mehrangarh's baptism was the core of an ancient city, and modern Jodhpur has grown to all sides.
One of the most famous palaces of the city of Umaid Bhawan was built very recently in 1944. At that time, in Rajasthan, a terrible drought was rampant and the 3,000 people who were left without work and who were literally dying of hunger were conceived. The door was built for 15 years. At first, it was a royal residence, and now most of the building is a hotel (one of the best in the city) and a private Royal Museum is located here.
Souvenirs and products of Indian masters can be bought in the Gardicot and Sardar markets. There are over 7,000 small shops and shops on the side of narrow corners.
