Description

Sunset Moments with Mom India Rajasthan Jodhpur.

Past the sunset hour, mother and son enjoy a quiet moment chatting and catching up on the day�s events, sitting outside their modest house. They live in the staff quarters of the famous Mehrangarh
Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, which was built by Rao Jodha in 1459. Some of the movies filmed at this fort include The Jungle Book, The Dark Night Rises and Sudh Desi Romance.
Mehrangarh Fort located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India.
The fort is situated 400 feet (122 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings, exquisitely latticed palace windows and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of cannonball hits 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 the Mehrangarh fort.
There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention even today.
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 rooms.
