A castle of centuries

As the sun sets, casting a warm glow on the city of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, a magical view unfolds. Amidst this scene stands Mehrangarh Fort, housed atop a rocky hill. This fort was the seat of power for the Rathore dynasty, witnessing both victory and challenges. The current architecture was developed over 500 years, starting with its foundation by then-ruler Rao Jodha in 1459.
