Mehrangarh Fort
Mehrangarh Fort stands as one of the largest and most magnificent forts, not just in Jodhpur, but in all of Rajasthan. It's a beacon of history and grandeur, drawing visitors from across the world to marvel at its towering presence. Perched atop a 150-metre-high hill, the fort was founded by Rao Jodha in 1459. Its imposing silhouette can be seen from the city below, with a circular road winding up the hill to its entrance, just 5 km away. To enter Mehrangarh, one must pass through seven gates, each echoing the battles of the past. The second gate still bears the scars of cannonball strikes from the attacking Jaipur armies. Among these gates is Jayapol, which translates to 'victory', built by Maharaja Man Singh to mark his triumph over the armies of Jaipur and Bikaner. Another called Fatehpol, also meaning 'victory', was constructed by Maharaja Ajit Singh after defeating the Mughals. Mehrangarh Fort stands as a testament to the skill and dedication of Jodhpuri craftsmen, its beauty and resilience reflecting the rich history of the region.
