Mehrangarh Fort, Fort in Jodhpur, India
The stone fort rises 410 feet from a rocky hill, with thick red sandstone walls surrounding seven entrance gates and multiple palace structures.
Rao Jodha established the fort in 1459 after moving his capital from Mandore, selecting the strategic hilltop location for enhanced defense capabilities.
The fort museum displays royal collections of textiles, weapons, paintings, and artifacts from the Rajput and Mughal periods within decorated palace chambers.
The fort opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees between 50 and 100 INR, including access to the museum and courtyards.
The fortress walls bear cannon marks from historical battles, while traditional musicians perform folk melodies near the entrance gates.
