Jodhpur - Coach of Palace on Wheels
This capital of the Marwar kingdom lies on the tip of the Thar Desert and was the seat of a formidable dynasty of rulers from the 15th century onwards. The Mehrangarh fort, which dominates the city of Jodhpur, is fascinating with its cusped arcades and the Mughal influenced designs of the Moti Mahal recreated in mother-of-pearl work on the ceiling. The royal crest is highlighted on the valance along with the miniature paintings in the lounge, which is typical of the Jodhpur School of Art.
