JODHPUR

Mighty Mehrangarh, the muscular fort that towers over the Blue City of Jodhpur is a magnificent spectacular and an architectural masterpiece. Around Mehrangarh`s base the old city; a jumble of Brahmin-blue cubes, stretches out to th 10 km-long ,16th century city wall. The blue City really is blue! Inside is a tangle of winding glittering medieval streets, which never seem to lead where expect them to, scented bu incenes, roses and sewers, with shops and bazaars selling everything from rumpets and temple decorations to snuff and saris. Traditionally , blue signified the home of a Brahmin, but non-Brahmins have got in on the act too.. As well as glowing with a mysterius light, the blue tint is thought to repel insects.
