POEM: Blue
Oh, the glorious monotony
of mountain skies
an azure dome
in rare air highs
over the brome
And, too, the lake
glassy tranquil
float duck and drake
in mile high chill

Jodhpur is called “the blue city” for reasons that should be apparent from the photos above. Historically, this blue was associated with the households of Brahmin. Brahmin were the priestly caste, the highest of the four castes. Of course, the caste system was outlawed decades ago (not that its long tail doesn’t remain), and so now many of these blue houses are occupied by households that aren’t Brahmin.
