The bird’s eye view of the city of Jodhpur was nothing less than a blue-dyed mirage from the majestic Mehrangarh fort. It looked like numerous blue dots on a deserted canvas. The tangle of winding and yet narrow lanes of the old city is like a maze, leading you to nowhere if you are not escorted. Located in the shadow of the fort, the old city of Jodhpur is primarily dominated by the blue colored houses in a haphazard manner. Popularly known as the “Blue City” of Rajasthan, there is no proper explanation as to why Jodhpur is called the “Blue City”.
