Jodhpur: Unveiling the Secrets of India's Blue City & Top 5 Must-Visit Spots

• Jodhpur earned its 'Blue City' moniker from Brahmins painting houses blue for identity, a trend that spread city-wide.
• The blue color serves a practical purpose: reflecting sunlight to keep homes cool in high temperatures, acting as a 'natural AC'.
• Historically, 'neela thotha' (copper sulfate) was mixed with lime to deter termites and insects, protecting homes.
• Must-visit locations include Mehrangarh Fort for panoramic blue city views, Jaswant Thada (Taj Mahal of Marwar), and the grand Umaid Bhawan Palace.
• Explore Mandore Gardens for ancient temples, and savor local delicacies like 'Mirchi Vada' and 'Mawa Kachori' near Ghantaghar.
