Mehrangarh Fort (Jodhpur, Rajasthan / India, November 2016)
Rising perpendicular and impregnable from a rocky hill around 120m above the city of Jodhpur, Mehrangarh is one of the most magnificent forts in India. The battlements are 6m to 36m high, and as the building materials were chiseled from the rock on which the fort stands, the structure merges with its base.
The fort was build in 1460 by Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur (not to be confused with Yoda, a fictional character from Star Wars). Still run by the Jodhpur royal family, Mehrangahr is packed with history and legends.
