Jodhpur is a beautiful trading town situated in Rajasthan province close to the famous Great Thar Desert. The city is also called the Blue City because most houses are painted in blue, the colour of the Brahmins. The impressive Mehrangarh Fort builded in 1459 is located high above the city and is enclosed with thick walls. Jodhpur is said to have a particularly ‘sweet’ hospitality, sweet shops are found at every corner and it is a tradition to start a meal with something sweet.
