Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur

Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur

Situated on a rocky cliff 400 feet above the town of Jodhpur, Mehrangarh Fort is one of the main attractions of the city. The fort's ramparts, which are hewn out of the rock face, are 130 feet high in places, and are protected by a battery of medieval cannon.

The entrance is fortified by seven gateways which provide a series of locks along the main access to the fort. Several gates are often strung together, each a short turn to the next, creating a zig zag approach to the fort.

The main gate is heavy and spiked. Outside the Loha Pol or Iron Gate is a wall with the hand prints of fifteen royal satis who immolated themselves on the funeral pyres of their dead husbands.

The palace complex within the fort is constructed around a series of interconnecting courtyards. First built in 1459, it has been added to over the centuries by successive generations of maharajas. It is divided into three areas:

The outer court which contains the stables and kitchens;
The durbarhall (reception rooms) and maharajas' palaces;
The zenana or queen's palaces.
