Blue City - Jodhpur

These are a set of pictures from a trip made over a year ago to Jodhpur. From atop the Mehrangarh fort that towers over Jodhpur one gets a good sense of why the city is also called The Blue City. A large number of houses, of a particularly community have been and continue to be painted in blue in an apparent measure to keep them cool in the torrid heat of the desert.
