The new city however is outside the walled city. Known as the blue city, Jodhpur is actually blue. You will get to know this when you would be in the buzzling and glittering old city of Jodhpur. Some say that the on the orders of the founder of Jodhpur, Rao Jodha, the city was painted blue. Others say that the blue houses belong to the brahmins where other non brahmins too got involved in the act. There is yet another theory that says blue tint repels insects. Here stands the mighty and muscular Mehrangarh- a formidable and impressive hilltop fort. A series of gates lead to the Fort “”Jayapol”” built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1806 and the “”Fatehpol”” or ‘Victory Gate’, erected by Maharaja Ajit Singh to celebrate his victory over the Mughals. The main gate is the “”Lahapol””, an iron gate besides which there are 15 hand prints which are the ‘Sati Marks’ of Maharaja Man Singh’s widows who threw themselves upon his funeral pyre in 1843. Inside the fort, visit the palaces “”Moti Mahal”” or ‘Pearl Palace’, the “”Sukh Mahal”” or ‘Pleasure Palace’ and the “”Phool Mahal”” or ‘Flower Palace’. Continue the tour to visit the ‘Jaswant Thada’, a marble cenotaph built in 1899 as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
