MEHRANGARH FORT: JODHPUR

"पधारो म्हारे देस"

If you wish to visit Jodhpur this year, then Mehrangarh Fort is a must visit. 
Why??? 🤔🤔🤔
 Because of its interesting history.

DID YOU KNOW: Earlier, Mehrangarh was called as 'Mihirgarh'. According to Rajasthani language pronunciation conventions, 'Mihir' means Sun & 'garh' means fort. 🌞 'Mihirgarh' has changed to 'Mehrangarh'; the Sun-deity has been the chief deity of the Rathore dynasty.

Entry to the fort is gained through a series of seven gates. The most famous of the gates are:

Jai Pol, Fateh Pol, Dedh Kamgra Pol, Loha Pol. 
Within the fort are several brilliantly crafted and decorated palaces. These include Moti Mahal, Sheesha Mahal and Daulat Khana, etc. 


So, if Jodhpur is on your list this year then a visit to Mehrangarh is a must. 

I went there with my Dad & my sister, this year. The pictures, in this blog are clicked by me. For more, visit my instagram handle: @ohwomaniyaa.

The history of fort, is not just a mere history. It is a beautiful memory. This fort is the aan-baan-shaan of blue city, JODHPUR.

I am a person, who loves forts alot. I love to learn about their history, architecture & most importantly I love to click pictures. ☀️💛

GALLIVANTER, BY HEART.
