The home of the Rathores, Marwar of  Marudesh was conquered by them after the fall of Delhi and Kannauj. Rao Jodha founded Jodhpur in 1459 A.D. The old city is fortified, and the wall surrounding it is nearly 10 kms long, with eight gates facing in various directions. The city is situated at the foot of a hillock. Crowning it is the imposing Mehrangarh fort. A spectacular view of the city can be obtained from the battlements of the fort. Jodhpur boasts of a rich heritage and culture, and has a flourishing handicraft industry.

 

PRIME SITES IN JODHPUR

 

Mehrangarh Fort: Mehrangarh fort is a magnificent structure built in 1459 A.D., when Rao Jodha shifted his capital from Mandore. It is a standing sentinel to the grandeur of the past, and houses a palace intricately adorned with long carved panels and latticed windows exquisitely wrought from red sandstone.

 

The apartments within, have a magic of their own- the Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana with a rich varied collection of palanquins, howdas, royal cradles, miniature paintings, folk music instruments, costumes, furniture and an impressive armoury. The display of cannons on the ramparts near Chamunda Mata temple is among the rarest in India.

 

Umaid Bhawan Palace: Built by Maharaja Umaid Singh, this exquisite palace is  also known as Chittar Palace as local Chittar stone is used in its splendid example of Indo-colonial style of 30s. There is an excellent museum housing models of aeroplanes, weapons, antique clocks and bob watches, priceless crockery and hunting trophies. A portion of the palace has been converted into a hotel.

 

Mahamandir Temple: Situated on the Mandore road is an architectural splendour, built in 1812 A.D., supported by 84 carved pillars, ornamented with detailed designs and figures depicting various postures of Yoga. The entire structure is marked by its unique and original style.
