Travel and Tourism of Jodhupur in India
JOGHUPUR
Nestling within the depths of the Thar Desert, is the
stronghold of the Rathore clan, Jodhpur, once the capital of the former
princely state of Marwar, the second largest city of Rajasthan, after
Jaipur. The town was once known as Marwar, which means 'Land of Death',
probably, referring to the harsh desert climate. It is an island of
marble palaces, cordoned off from the desert by a 10-km-long wall made
of stone with eight gates facing different directions built about a
century after the city was founded. There are about 100 towers in the
city, most of which are surrounded by defensive battlements.
Flanked on its western side by the Mehrangarh fort, and on
the eastern side by the stately sandstone Palace of Umaid Bhawan, the
monuments, temples and gardens of Jodhpur depict a multi-faceted
grandeur.
Founded in 1459 AD., by the Suryavanshi Rao Jodha, Jodhpur
was and still is a flourishing trading centre that began its existence
in the 16th century, as one of the leading centres of wool, cattle,
camels and salt. Jodhpur's fascinating history is replete with sagas
that tell the tales of proud kings, brave warriors, court intrigues and
colourful stories of valour and romance. Even today, Jodhpur retains
much of its medieval flavour and ambience that instantly bring to mind
the grandeur and glory of another era. Dotted with palaces, havelis,
temples and houses washed pale blue, the city and its people live under
the watchful gaze of the imposing Meherangah Fort.
Jodhpur's heart beats in its crowded bazaars, in the maze of
jumbled lanes, in the warmth and hospitality of a hardy desert people.
The city’s piece de resistance is undeniably the magnificent art noveau
and art deco style Umaid Bhawan Palace, residence of the royal family
and now a heritage hotel.
From Jodhpur, travellers can explore rural Rajasthan and its
desert villages, where the rare black buck, an antelope indigenous to
the region, is protected by the Bishnoi people, a local tribe renowned
for their environmental concern. In desert dwellings, visitors can taste
traditional foods and purchase Bishnoi handicrafts. Also near Jodhpur
is Rajasthan's largest group of early Jain and Hindu temples on the
outskirts of the small oasis, Osian. No matter what your reason for
visiting this blue city, you are sure to fall in love with the romance
of the place.
