Step into a world of delicately chiseled
jalis, exquisite friezes, stain-glass windows with vibrant
colorful mosaics, stunning Zenana palaces, sandstone porches,
steep narrow stone stairs, interconnected hallways and corridors
that lead to breathtakingly frescoed rooms at the imposing
Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Located atop a steep sandstone hillock, the 125-meter tall
Mehrangarh Fort with its imposing turrets and battlements
creates a breathtaking panorama that enthralls you into
a dream trance. Each of the seven gates that lead to the
massive Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India are
brilliant and intimidating. The ones that deserve a special
mention are the Lohapol with its historic palm prints of
the maharanis of Jodhpur who committed sati and the Fatehpol
or the gate of victory that was constructed by maharaja
Ajit Singh.
Tour the Maan Vilas that displays a royal tent made of
deep crimson decorated elaborately with gold embroidery
that was seized by maharaja Jaswant Singh in a battle with
Aurangzeb. See the brilliant Moti Mahal with its delicate
murals, palanquins, miniature paintings, regal costumes
and more.
Be charmed at the glorious Phool Mahal with its wall painted
with musical instruments and admire the Rajput taste for
lavish luxury as you walk along the corridors of the Sukh
Mahal that served as a summer palace for the Jodhpur royalty
at the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
