JODHPUR - Destination Overview |
 The
‘Blue City’, as it is known, was founded on the edges
of Thar Desert in 1459 A.D by Rao Jodha, a chief of
the Rathore clan of the Rajputs. It was the capital
of the Rathore Kingdom, which was the largest in the
Rajputana. Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan
after Jaipur, and is encircled by a high 10 km long
wall. The city is blessed with a number of forts, temples,
gardens and lakes. The historic grandeur, exquisite
handicrafts, folk dances, music and the brightly attired
people lend an aura of romance to the city.
Land of the valiant Rathores and the sensuous leheriya
sari, Jodhpur is also the second largest city in Rajasthan
and an oasis in the arid Thar. Umaid Bhawan Palace,
the largest personal residence and one of the best art
deco buildings in India is undoubtedly the jewel of
Jodhpur.
Jodhpur city is located 317 km. from Jaipur and 597
km. from the national capital New Delhi. It is well
connected by rail to Jaipur and New Delhi. |
