Meherangarh Fort, Jodhpur, India

“A palace that might have been built by Titans and coloured by the morning sun.” Epitomizing royalty and glory, this gem in Jodhpur is one of India's largest and most beautiful forts.

Built by Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur, in 1459, overlooking the blue city, the fort is known for its stunning architecture.

 

The fort is also declared a National Geological Monument by the Geological Survey of India. It is built on a Malani Igneous Suite Contact, representing the last phase of igneous activity of Precambrian age in the Indian Subcontinent, making this geological feature quite impressive.

 

Many blockbuster movies were shot at this magnificent fort. The famous Hollywood movie “The Dark Knight Rises” has significant scenes shot here.
