The Blue City beneath Mehrangarh's mighty walls.
The Blue City of Rajasthan sprawls beneath the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, one of India's most imposing citadels, perched 400 feet above a sea of indigo-painted houses. Jodhpur was the capital of the Marwar kingdom and retains a fierce, regal character — from its martial museums and spice-filled bazaars to the grand Umaid Bhawan Palace, still partly a royal residence. The city's electric-blue old town is one of the most photogenic urban landscapes in Asia.
