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.

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.
