Jodhpur

The Blue City

Soaking in the views from the imposing and majestic Meherangarh Fort, one cannot help but be stunned by the sights of the walled city of Jodhpur. Bathed in a tinge of blue — largely because of the predominance of the color in most of the city’s houses — Jodhpur epitomizes everything that you’d associate with the exoticism of Rajasthan. From amazing architecture and authentic artistry to lots of legacy and lifestyle, Jodhpur’s unique character lies in its ability to balance the old with the new — retaining its historically rich and royal fiber with its contemporary and well-earned reputation in the field of fashion. The home of jodhpurs and juttis, this city features at the forefront of India’s fashion scene. Rajasthan’s second-largest city has more to it than barren landscape and old fortresses; it promises to mesmerize every kind of visitor with its diversity!
