Blue City Jodhpur
Also known as "The Blue City", "Sun City" and "Gateway to Thar", Jodhpur is famous for its Mehrangarh Fort, blue houses, temples, sweets and entrees. Apart from the fort, there are many temples, lakes, shopping streets which are like an old-fashioned mirage.
The former capital of Marwar, Jodhpur is one of the most attractive cities in Rajasthan, overlooking the city from its mighty Mehrangarh Fort. The city is called the Blue City because it looks completely blue from an aerial view due to its blue walls and blue houses. The nearby Jaswant Tada and Umaid Bhawan Palace are also among the major attractions of Jodhpur. However, the magic lies in the old town itself, with hundreds of shops, guesthouses, food joints and vendors making it a bustling city, especially near the historic Clock Tower and Sardar Market.
Seen in the backdrop of the film, The Dark Knight Rises, Jodhpur attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators from across the globe. Jodhpur is conveniently located in the heart of Rajasthan, making it easy for people visiting Jodhpur to explore other destinations in the state.
