Jodhpur
The
5 km long majestic fort on a 125 m high hill is one of the most impressive
and formidable structures.Although invincible from the outside,the
fort has four gates approached by a winding road. Within the fort
are some magnificent palaces with marvelously craved panels,latticed
windows and evocative names. Noteworthy of these are the Moti Mahal,the
Phool Mahal,the Sheesh Mahal,the Sileh Khana and the Daulat Khana.These
palaces house a fabulous collection of trappings of Indian royalty
including superb collection of palanquins, elephant howdahs, miniature
paintings of various schools,musical instruments,costumes and furniture.
Red
sandstone stairs led up to the chessboard checked courtyard of the
neat white marble cenotaph. Dedicated to Maharaja Jaswant, this memorial
was built in 1899. Inside, the reverent ambience is framed with several
portraits of Jodhpur royalty. It is a peaked structure from the outside
with precise trellis workand excellent carving
A
wonderful palace of beige sandstone built by Maharaja Umaid Singh
in 1928 and designed by the President of the British Royal Institute
of Architects. The Fort is a blend of several styles, merging pleasantly.
All the trappings of Raj influence, pre-independence royal living
are present. Royal auditorium ballrooms, huge dinning-room, gilded
royal furniture, majestic tiger and deerskins on the walls of a gloomy
library of old books, crystal chandeliers, stained glass windows,
liveried menservants and doormen, swimming pool in basement, various
mementos and old photographs. There is so much to see and discover.
Before
the foundation of Jodhpur was laid, Mandore was the established capital
of the old Marwar Kingdom. Just nine kilometers away, Mandore is a
fascinating complex of sprawling gardens, massive cenotaphs, temples,
ruins and sculpture. The several cenotaphs in memory of the Jodhpur
Maharajas are intricately carved, peaked, temple-like structures,
with entirely sculpted facades. Gods, goddesses, animals, lotuses,
adorn the walls and pillars of old yellow sandstone. The largest and
most noteworthy cenotaph is dedicated to maharaja Ajit Singh. 
An
oasis in the desert,situated on the diversion off the main Jodhpur
- Bikaner Highway. A drive to this ancient township takes one past
undulating terrain, punctuated by desert stretches and little hamlets.
