The 16th century capital of the Rathore
Rajputs, Jodhpur's history is evident in the hilltop fort,
Mehrangarh, from where its destiny was written. Narrow paths
wind up the steep path, leading to the innards of the fort.
Once within, the architecture is less formidable, with delicate
windows and painted chambers. From its ramparts one has a
view of the 20th century art decorum from the Umaid Bhawan
Palace.
