Exterior of Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India
Calling Mehrangarh a ‘fort’ is like calling Buckingham Palace a manor house. There are palaces within the cannon ball-scarred walls of the massive fort, with detailed carvings, artwork, and open courtyards. Rao Jodha, founder of the city of Jodhpur, commissioned the construction of Mehrangarh Fort in 1460. It stands atop a 410-foot hill above Jodhpur and today functions as a history museum about the city and the fort itself.
