Jodhpur
Jodhpur stands at the edge of the Thar Desert and is the largest city in Rajasthan after Jaipur. The main attraction is the Meherangarh Fort, one of the most impressive forts in Rajasthan. Inside the fort, there is a whole series of court yards and palaces. They house a fantastic collection of the trappings of Indian royalty, including an amazing collection of elephant howdahs, miniature paintings, superb folk music instruments, furniture and costumes.
Among Rajasthan's many princely settlements, Jodhpur is one of the most distinctive. This five hundred year old settlement was the headquarters of the Rathore Rajputs celebrated for their tales of daring. This princely state is also referred as "The Blue city".
