"Jodhpur, the second largest city in Rajasthan, India, was founded in 1459 by King Rao Jodha. It is a popular tourist destination offering palaces, forts and temples.

The old city of Jodhpur is surrounded by a 10km long wall that was built 100 years after the city was founded. Jodhpur is called the blue city, due to its many blue-painted houses; it can be seen to best advantage from the Mehrangarh Fort, an old maharaja fort placed on a rock above the city. Jodhpur is also called sun city because sun can be seen shining almost in all seasons.

Jodhpur was founded on the strategic road linking Delhi to Gujarat enabling the city to profit from the trade of opium, copper, silk, sandals, date palms and coffee". Source: Wikipedia.
