One of the largest forts of India, this fort calls for at least one visit in your lifetime. Massive and elegant architecture and historic Royal exhibits are real gems of this museum. A guide (human/audio) would enhance one's knowledge and visiting experience. A really great way to come face to face with Indian history.
Most amazing experience. The best site to reconnect with the royal heritage of erstwhile Marwar Riyasat or present day Jodhpur and Rajasthan. Fort is well preserved and gives goosebumps. Museum is well equipped with heritage and weapons, palquins used in old times. Fort gives wide panoramic view of Blue city. Must visit this historical site if you are in Jodhpur.
What a legendary place! Height of beauty and marvelous architecture. A lot of places to explore within and pay attention to the guide who ll describe everything in detail. The entrance itself if majestic and you can understand the power of Indian culture and Kingdom.
The most intricate work I have ever seen. You could spend an entire day here and still want to stay more. Absolutely stunning. Marvellous. Breathtaking...superb...just amazing....one of the best Marwad region Fort...the architect of fort is amazing...The most beautiful Palace I have ever seen. It is so big, there isn't a whole lot inside, but the outside views are incredible. Don't be rushed, go early and get the composite ticket and do all the rest of the 8 things on the ticket. There are a few hawkers up the stairs so just keep your head down and get to the top. If you do not visit this place, you are missing out a lot of pleasure. I mean, its just incredibly gorgeous and they have maintained it with all it's glory.
Mehrangarh, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India. Built in around 1459 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 410 feet (125 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of the impact of cannonballs fired by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending Mehrangarh. There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory gate'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. There is also a Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory gate'), which commemorates Maharaja Ajit Singhji victory over Mughals. The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum, there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period.
