About Jodhpur
The Blue City's thousand-plus indigo-painted houses cascade down a plateau toward Mehrangarh Fort, which rises 410 feet above the sprawl in honey-coloured sandstone—a medieval military hulk dominating the skyline. The fort's 36-metre walls remain virtually intact; peacocks stalk ramparts. Blue paint tradition began as a Brahmin marker and now defines the city's aesthetic.
