Jodhpur founded in 1459 by a Marwari Raja, is situated at the eastern edge of the Thar Desert. The Meherangarh Fort atop a 400 foot hill dominates the skyline. The Blue City name is derived from the blue painted houses signifying a home of a Brahmin. More recently, the blue color is thought to repel insects, so non-Brahmins may also have their homes painted the blue color.
