Sightseeing
Jodhpur the blue city reflects the eternal passion that pulsates through
the heart of the desert land. As you enter this virtuous land all your blues
are vanished into oblivion and you discover a new horizon of this
breathtaking land of Royal Charisma.
»
Mehrangarh Fort : The 5 km long majestic fort on a 125 m high hill is
one of the most impressive and formidable structures. Although invincible
from the outside, the fort has four gates approached by a winding road.
Within the fort are some magnificent palaces with marvelously carved panels,
latticed windows and evocative names.
» Jaswant Thada : A cluster of royal cenotaphs in
white marble built in 1899 A.D. in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
Within the main cenotaph are the portraits of various Jodhpur rulers.
» Umaid Bhawan Palace : The only 20th century palace
built under the famine relief project that gave employment to famine struck
population. The palace was completed in 16 years. This opulent edifice in
sandstone is still the residence of the former rulers with a part of it
running as a hotel and remaining part as a museum.
» Girdikot and Sardar Market : These colourful
markets with tiny shops dotting the narrow lanes are situated in the heart
of the city and are popular for a wide range of handicrafts, making them the
favourite haunt of shoppers.
» Museum : The museum has an exquisite ensemble of
paintings, sculptures and antique weapons.
