Holidays to Rajasthan can never be accomplished until one explores the city of Jodhpur. Adorned with a tapestry of cultures, traditions and history, the city takes you to some unknown chapters of India’s past that can make any jaw drop out of fascination. The outlook of Jodhpur portrays the richness of Rajasthan’s legendary past where many rulers have ruled and created their own world of opulence. It is home to more than its fair share of forts and palaces which still hold treasures of the bygone era.
Visit the Mehrangarh Fort, adorning the skyline of Jodhpur with flamboyant colours. Raised by Rao Jodha in 1459 AD, the fort is a true exemplar of awe-inspiring architecture. Jaswant Thada is another architectural marvel that entices the travellers with its intricate carvings, stunning domes and finely carved sculptures. This white marble wonder was constructed in 1899 by Maharaja Sardar Singh in memory of his father Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Apart from these, history buffs also love visiting the Government Museum to peep into the past world through its rich collection of weapons, textiles, miniature portraits, local crafts and images of Jain Tirthankaras (sages).
The opulence of Jodhpur can be best understood by visiting the larger-than-life Umaid Bhawan Palace. This epitome of grandness has now been divided into a heritage hotel, museum and the Maharaja’s royal residence. It is perhaps the most awe-inspiring wonder of Indian architecture mirroring in its marbled squash courts, billiards rooms and museum.
Jodhpur’s natural beauty is far from one’s imagination. Places like Balsamand Lake, Kaylana Lake and Mandore gardens are ideal to indulge with Mother Nature and cherish her blessings.
