Mehrangarh Fort Jodhpur - Photo Gallery



The Mehrangarh Fort lies in the heart of the old city of Jodhpur and is located atop a 125 m high hill and is the most majestic and one of the largest forts in India. It was originally started (c.1459) by Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur.



Mehrangarh Fort Museum houses an exquisite collection of palanquins, howdahs (elephant seat), royal cradles, miniatures, musical instruments, costumes and furniture.



Jaswant Thada, a white marble memorial built in 1899 in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, another architectural landmark in Jodhpur is sure to take your breath away.
