<\/p>\n

Jodhpur is the second largest city in the state of Rajasthan after Udaipur, located on the very edge of the Thar Desert.<\/p>\n

Due to the heat and to save electricity, many people are sleeping on the roofs of their houses.<\/p>\n

And here's a delicate detail\u2014um, a public restroom... Open restrooms for peeing exist in Europe too. In India, this isn't a problem\u2014any wall is already a restroom. But I've never seen an open restroom for (something more civilized) peeing in Jodhpur. And it's located on a narrow street with heavy pedestrian and tuk-tuk traffic. It's quite a sight, three Indians sitting there, doing their business in full view and chatting casually. I won't post a photo of the scene\u2014for aesthetes only...<\/p>\n

The city is very beautiful. On one side, there's a huge fort right above the city, and on the other, there are blue houses.<\/p>\n

Jodhpur consists of the lower town and the enormous Mehrangarh Fort, which sits atop a hill and is surrounded by a 10-kilometer-long wall. Within the fort's walls are palaces, temples, and service buildings. In my opinion, it is the most impressive fort I've seen in India.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The city was named the blue city because a large number of houses, once owned by the high priests, the Brahmins, are painted this color.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On one of the walls of the fort you can see the imprints of women's hands - these are the palms of the wives and concubines who climbed onto the pyre with the maharaja - the sati ritual.
\nSati is a funeral ritual tradition in Hinduism, according to which a widow is burned along with her deceased husband on a specially constructed funeral pyre. Today, this practice is rare and prohibited.<\/p>\n

The name comes from the goddess Sati, who sacrificed herself, unable to bear the humiliation that her father Daksha inflicted on her chosen god Shiva.<\/p>\n
