Jodhpur is often referred to as the "Blue City" because many of its houses, havelis (traditional mansions), temples, and buildings in the old part of town are painted in vivid shades of blue. This distinctive color has a historical significance and is believed to have been used by the Brahmin caste to distinguish their homes from others.
Jodhpur's old city is a maze of narrow, winding lanes that are full of history. Exploring these lanes on foot allows you to discover hidden gems and experience the city's authentic charm up close.

5Ranisar Padamsar Lakes
The Ranisar and Padamsar lakes are two adjoining lakes in the city of Jodhpur built over 500 years ago. They are situated at the rear of the Mehrangarh Fort, near the Fateh Pol. These scenic lakes were created to conserve water, as Jodhpur falls under a desert region where water is scarce. The tranquillity of these adjacent lakes is complemented brilliantly by the stark contrast of the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, making it a sight to behold. The clear waters have been preserved and maintained for centuries, providing a serene vibe and an almost identical reflection of the grand fort on its surface.
