One day, one elsewhere n°12

Every day, you can find a relaxed morning to keep your mind open to the world by subscribing to the blog. All you have to do is click on the blue banner at the bottom of the article!

Drive up the small road leading to Merhangarh Fortress from the Blue City and see it for the first time around a bend. Admire the fortress which dominates the city from its 122 meters high.

To be stunned, to be short of air, to feel very small at the foot of this stone colossus, several hundred years old.

Be fascinated by its ramparts which impose themselves on us from the top of their 36 metres.

Go through the six gates, each of which is placed around a bend, to prevent the elephants from gaining momentum. Finally, to enter the enclosure of the Fort, with respect and delicacy, savouring the minute details created by human hands more than 500 years ago.

To be seized by beauty to the point of breathlessness, then to be suddenly moved to tears before so much majesty.

Marvel at the colours of the volcanic stone used for the construction and discover the various palaces on the site.

Under the sun, let yourself be carried away by the charm of the place.

Distinguish, below, the surrounding wall that joins Jodhpur, the blue city.

Marvel at the tide of blue houses stretching as far as the eye can see, to the delight of the eyes.

Take to the fields to admire the stone work.

To think that nothing will ever make us forget this « Fort of the Sun » which overlooks the world from the top of its rocky spur.
