Built in 1459 by Rao Jodha, the Fort is a symbol of heritage, strength, and artistic splendour. Magnificent walls, breathtaking gateways, and opulent palaces that leave you mesmerised are among the features of the fort that draw in millions from across the globe. As visitors venture into the Fort, they are greeted by carvings in courtyards, stately rooms, and museums packed with historic items. Armaments, paintings, clothes, royal palanquins, and more. A jewel among other attractions, Phool Mahal is adorned with jewels of gold and colourful glass, painting the lives of Rajput kings. Sheesh Mahal is another marvel of art and design that astounds with its delicate mirror work. While history holds strong sway here, there’s ample chance to absorb the charming views of Jodhpur's blue patterned houses. An exciting zip line across rock terrains also makes the visit adventurous for daredevils. A treat for history connoisseurs, photography fans, and adventurers alike, Mehrangarh Fort is all that you ask for and more.
