The Mehrangarh Fort rises, impenetrable, perpendicularly, from a hill 125 meters above Jodhpur’s skyline. And steeped in mythology and history, this ancient fort is one of the most iconic in all of India. All that is left at the second gate of Mehrangarh Fort are the marks of cannonball attacks by the Jaipur army. Battlements with strong and well-chiselled walls lining Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal and Sheesh Mahal, exquisitely carved panels, latticed windows, and elaborate decorations are all here.
