This beautiful white marble monument dates to 1899. It can be seen from the Mehrangarh Fort, and has the same translucent marble that one sees at the Taj Mahal. It was built by the Maharaja Sadar Singh for his father the Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.

Pushkar Lake is in the background, and this is on the walk down toward the ghats. This is a particularly tidy piece of the town owing to its proximity to the sacred lake and a temple thereof.
The pic is a little overexposed, but I like it nonetheless.

We just missed Pushkar’s Camel Fair this year, but the evidence of it–from Ferris Wheels to vendors of swords and halters–abounded.

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.
