Mehrangarh Fort - Jodhpur

Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan

The inner rooms of the Mehrangarh Fort are a magnificent sight. Some of the grand rooms within the Mehrangarh Fort are beautifully decorated with opulent taste. The Darbar Takhat or Throne Room, the Umaid Vilas, the Rang Mahal, and the Chandan Mahal are exquisitely decorated rooms. The colorful stained glass windows of the Moti Mahal are a picturesque sight as the sunlight streams through the colored panes, forming patterns on the floor. The Phool Mahal in the Mehrangarh Fort was a room of pleasure built by Maharaja Abhaya Singh who ruled from (1724-1749) The room was built for performances by courtesans and dancing girls. The ceiling of the Phool Mahal is decorated with gold filigree work. The gold for this decorative masterpiece came from Gujarat after Maharaja Abhaya Singh defeated the local ruler Sarbuland Khan and returned with a great deal of booty.

The fort itself is well preserved and maintained. Within the fort there are knowledgeable guides who will conduct you on a tour of the museum. Colorfully dressed local people pose next to picturesque arches and balconies to provide tourists with memorable photographs. The Fort is a living history lesson. Royal portraits, regal artifacts and raga maala paintings are evidence of the rich culture of the city. The Mehrangarh Fort's rugged walls, pock marked with cannon fire, tell stories of sieges proudly withstood. The palm prints on a portal leading to the site of the funeral pyres, remind tourists of the queens who committed sati or self-immolation on their consorts funeral pyres and the magnificent cenotaphs are testimony to the valor and bravery of the Rathore kings of Jodhpur.
