Previously a part of Marwar, Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha. He gave the name to the town after his own!
The Mehrangarh Fort at the heart of the city was once guarded by seven colossal gates on a 9.5 km wall. What remains of it now is also too gorgeous to behold!
Jodhpur was once ruled by King Akbar! This happened in the 1580s, which is why the cityâs architecture still gives glimpses of the Mughal style.
In Dhinga Gawar, a festivity exclusive to Jodhpur, women let loose and whack the shit outta their husbands. And itâs all fun and gamesâfor women at least!
Thereâs a town just 1.5 hours from Jodhpur where people worship a motorcycle! Known as Bullet Baba, the shrine has a Bullet motorbike for an idol and riders legit visit to worship it.
The blue color for houses was reserved for Brahmins back in the day, indicating the worship of Lord Shiva. Later on, the trend spread across, and now, a whole chunk of the city has blue houses!
Bringing to India some of the most exceptional delicacies like Mirchi Bada, shahi samosa Chai-Mathri, and the Rabdi Ghewar, Jodhpur is a roller-coaster of flavors for our tongues.
The textiles of Jodhpur are recognized by leather decorated with embroidery, a style that is elegant, unique, and vibrant at the same time. You can shop for belts, bracelets, bags, and footwear in this style when here.
The Blue City, no less than the dreamy landscapes of Santorini, is an incredible place to walk through. Ornated with blue walls, windows, and doors the gullies and the houses of Old Jodhpur is a delight for every photographer and traveler.
