Jodpur; the Blue City. Ravi explains that city was named in 1459 for its founder Rajput chief named Rao Jodhpur. Jodhpur is the second-largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was previously known as Marwar. Jodhpur is famous for its blue buildings, which were originally painted to signify that they were occupied by Brahmins, the highest caste in India.
Ravi explained further that the blue colour has its advantages, it doesn’t absorb the heat as much and the mosquitoes apparently don’t like the colour neither!Meer informatie
