Portrays Mehrangarh Fort's Wall, a Cannon and Blue houses. Jodhpur City of Rajasthan is known as the Blue City, an apt name as most houses in the old city are shades of blue. It is an ancient summer treatment opted by the people as the Jodhpur is the most hottest city of Rajasthan during summers. People living here whitewash their houses mixed with indigo color, this treatment keeps the houses few degrees cooler in summers. This is particularly noticeable on the north side of the town, known as Brahmpuri. The view from Mehrangarh Fort is extremely beautiful it seems like blue colour is sprinkled from the sky on the city.
