The second stop on our trip was Jodhpur. In Rajasthan it's like every city has a fort and a palace and endless amounts of french tourists. They we're everywhere and our group contributed with 3 of them!
On the way from Udaipur to Jodhpur (a VERY long bus ride of almost 9 hours) we made a stop to see a Jain Temple. It was amazing! One of the most beautiful temples I've seen so far, It was massive and all made in sandstone.
When we actually reached Jodhpur, we were exhausted from all the traveling and we just had dinner and then we enjoyed the evening. The next morning we got up rather early to finish all the Jodhpur-sightseeing before noon when we had to move again.
This used to be the Maharaja's bedroom! Notice the mirrors everywhere, imagine having decorations like that in your own bedroom, or even having one of that size!
On the right you see the outside decorations of this fort, all handmade a long long time ago.
On the left is a picture of one of the many saddles for the elephants which the Maharaja, and his family, were using. See the fort is now working as a museum, and all of these royal items (which actually once upon a time was in use!) are displayed.
Of course we went to the city fort and from there we could see all of jodhpur - also called 'the blue city' because of its many blue buildings. They belong to the Saddhu's (holy men) who paint their houses red in sympathy with
And we also saw a temple raised by the former Maharani (queen) of Jodhpur in honour of her husband the Maharaja. It was pretty and the garden was very pleasant.
