Next morning, the Palace-on-Wheels is in Jodhpur, a city
ringed by a high stone wall with seven gates and several
bastions. This second largest city of Rajasthan, founded
by Rao Jodha in 1459 A.D. is known for its rock-solid Mehrangarh
Fort.
The grand palaces within- Moti Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Phool
Mahal, Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana are impressive examples
of architectural excellence. Near the fort complex lies
Jaswant Thada, and a group of royal cenotaphs made of white
marble.
