Did you know? Jodhpur

Jodhpur's distinctive blue-painted houses originated from a Brahmin community tradition to indicate caste status, and today the old city is one of the world's largest concentrations of blue buildings.

Mehrangarh Fort, perched 400 feet above the city, took 15 years to build starting in 1459 and remains one of India's most imposing hilltop fortresses.

Jodhpur is the second-largest city in Rajasthan and sits on the edge of the Thar Desert, earning it the nickname 'Sun City' for its year-round bright sunshine.

The city was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, a Rathod Rajput ruler, whose name became the city's namesake.

Jodhpur's famous jodhpur trousers—the fitted riding breeches—were designed here in the 19th century and remain a classic equestrian garment worldwide.

The city's clock tower, Ghanta Ghar, sits at the heart of the bustling bazaar and has been a landmark since 1911.
