Highlights of Jodhpur

Jodhpur popularly known as Blue city of India. First of all, not all of Jodhpur Is painted blue. Only the old parts of the city near Mehrangarh Fort is painted blue. There are many theories why the houses are painted blue. The blue color is associated to the Lord Shiva and considered to be scared. Yet another belief is that blue color determined the social status. Where mostly Brahmans were living. This cast is considered the highest in the Indian culture. They did so because the blue color was meant to help against the heat and insects
