Jodhpur, Historical royal city in Rajasthan, India

The Mehrangarh Fort stands 400 feet above Jodhpur, with massive walls surrounding the old district filled with indigo-painted residential buildings.

Rao Jodha, leader of the Rathore clan, established Jodhpur in 1459 as the capital of the Marwar kingdom in northwestern India.

The Sardar Market near Clock Tower contains over 6000 shops selling traditional textiles, leather items, jewelry, and regional spices.
