One of the biggest fort in the world

Mehrangarh Fort holds pride of place in Jodhpur because of its splendid architecture and diverse history associated with it. Considered one of the most imposing and magnificent forts of Rajasthan, Mehrangarh Fort was built by Rao Jodha in 1459. The fort is spread over an area of 5 km and built on a 125 m high hill in outskirts of Jodhpur city. There are seven gates, which can be used to enter Mehrangarh fort. These 7 gates were made by different rulers and were built in honor of the victory over the Bikaner and Jaipur armies. One can see the entire city of Jodhpur from this fort, which is like a green carpet spread at the foot of the hill. Every ruler of Jodhpur contributed towards the construction of this fort. In the fort one can see magnificent palaces. The main palaces located within the Mehrangarh Fort are Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Zenana Dude, Takht Vilas and Jhanki Mahal. There are also two temples located inside the fort - Chamundi Devi Mandir and Nagnechiaji Mandir, dedicated to Goddess Durga and Kuldevi. There is also a museum in the Mehrangarh fort, which displays a rich collection of palaces, musical instruments, royal cradles, costumes, arms, furniture and paintings.
