A day in Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Blue city
Mehrangarh fort view from Raas Haveli
Started my day with a nice cup of coffee and eggs, and then to my first location across the Mehrangarh Fort, which is a cenotaph, serves as the cremation ground for the royal family of Marwar and is named Jaswant thada, It has a beautiful architecture and a very instagramable spot for some cultural shots like the turban making process, the traditional way.
On the way to Jaswant thada, one comes across the epic statue of Rao Jodha;
The entry tickets costs about 15 INR for Indians, and 30 INR (50 cents) for Foreigners.

On the way to the cenotaph (Jaswant Thada), One is welcomes by a local guy playing some classical music, which I couldn't resist but take a photo of.

After having spent almost half an hour inside Jaswant Thada and exploring the location, I came across two locals performing turban making process which I found absolutely interesting and got a creative shot of it on my gopro.

Later in the day I proceeded towards the iconic Mehrangarh fort to get a crazy view of whole of Jodhpur city also known as the blue city.

I got to witness such an epic sunset from the fort overlooking the blue painted neighbourhood of the city.
