Itinerary
This intricately crafted cenotaph (empty commemorative tomb) was built in 1899, in honor of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. It features white marble lattice screens and whimsical domes, while the inside is adorned with portraits of Rathore rulers. It's a peaceful place to relax and enjoy stunning views of the Fort and city.
Mehrangarh Fort is one of the most famous forts of Rajasthan. It is owned by the descendants of the erstwhile royals who have set an example in effectively managing the heritage structure. It was constructed by Rao Jodha, a Rathore Rajput in 1459, after moving from Mandore (8 km north of Jodhpur). This mighty fort, straddling a lone hill, encases elegant palaces and intimidating battlements
The Old City's famous landmark, the clock tower, stands at the heart of it—and it's still working! Next to it, Sadar Market retains a traditional village bazaar feel. It's chaotic and colorful and sells almost everything, including handicrafts, spices, saris and fabric.

About Jodhpur
Jodhpur, the Blue City of Rajasthan, spreads beneath the great Mehrangarh Fort at the edge of the Thar Desert, its old houses washed in blue.
Rao Jodha founded Jodhpur in 1459, and the huge Mehrangarh Fort still stands on a rocky ridge above the old city, its walls and palaces holding museums of arms, palanquins and painted rooms. Below, thousands of cube-shaped houses are washed in blue, a colour said to have started with the Brahmin families who lived there. White marble Jaswant Thada, a memorial to a maharaja, lies close to the fort.
Top-ranked sights in Jodhpur: Mehrangarh (Mehran Fort), Jaswant Thada, Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum.
