Jodhpur (Mehrangarh Fort) : Jai Pol (porte de la victoire)
Le panoramearth est pris à proximité de la Jai Pol (porte de la victoire). Au début de la vidéo, on voit le parking des bus au loin. A la seconde 29 de la vidéo, on voit la Jai Pol. Cette porte a été construite en 1806 par le Maharaja Man Singh pour commémorer ses victoires sur les armées de Jaipur et Bikaner. De part et d'autre, des peintures murales racontent des hauts faits. A partir de la seconde 54, deux séquences vidéo en fioriture pour montrer le détail des peintures.
Le Fort de Mehrangarh (le « Fort du Soleil »), situé au nord de la ville de Jodhpur, est l'un des plus grands forts de l'Inde. Ce fort est situé sur une colline, à 122 mètres au-dessus de la ville (348 mètres d'altitude) et est entouré par d'imposantes et épaisses murailles (jusqu'à 36 mètres de haut et 26 mètres de large). Il contient plusieurs palais connus pour leurs sculptures complexes et leurs cours spacieuses. Une route sinueuse conduit au fort, à partir de la ville en contrebas. Le fort comporte sept portes, parmi lesquelles : « Jai Pol » (« porte de la victoire »), « Fateh Pol » (signifiant aussi « porte de la victoire » et construite par Maharaja Ajit Singh pour marquer la défaite des Moghols, 1707). A proximité de ces portes on trouve sur le mur, les empreintes de main des femmes de guerriers qui se sont immolées, selon la tradition ancienne, à la suite du décès de leurs époux. Les autres portes sont : « Loha Pol » (la « porte de fer »), « Dedh Kamgra Pol ». Le musée du fort de Mehrangarh est l'un des musées les plus riches du Rajasthan. Dans une partie de ce musée on trouve d'anciens palanquins royaux. On y trouve aussi des armes d'époque, des costumes, des peintures et de magnifiques chambres, halls, palais, richement décorés. Au moins huit palais sont présents : Daulat Khana (palais impérial), Fateh Mahal (palais nommé ainsi en l'honneur de Fateh Pir Baba, un grand saint soufi qui a béni la famille royale), Moti Mahal (palais de la perle), Sheesh Mahal (palais des miroirs), Phool Mahal (palais des fleurs), Takhat Vilas (la chambre royale du Maharaja Takhat Singh), Jhanki Mahal (palais du coup d'œil, où les femmes de la cour pouvaient voir sans être vues les audiences royales), Zenana Deodi (palais des femmes de la cour royale).

Mehrangarh Fort Jodhpur | View of Blue City | Palace your | Rajasthan
Rising perpendicular and impregnable from a rocky hill that itself stands 120m above Jodhpur’s skyline, Mehrangarh is one of the most magnificent forts in India. The battlements are 6m to 36m high, and as the building materials were chiselled from the rock on which the fort stands, the structure merges with its base. Still run by the Jodhpur royal family, Mehrangarh is packed with history and legend .
Mehrangarh’s main entrance is at the northeast gate, Jai Pol. It’s about a 300m walk up from the old city to the entrance, or you can take a winding 5km autorickshaw ride (around ₹120).
Jai Pol was built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1808 following his defeat of invading forces from Jaipur. Past the museum ticket office and a small cafe, the 16th-century Dodh Kangra Pol was an external gate before Jai Pol was built, and still bears the scars of 1808 cannonball hits. Through here, the main route heads up to the left through the 16th-century Imritia Pol and then Loha Pol, the fort’s original entrance, with iron spikes to deter enemy elephants. Just inside the gate are two sets of small hand prints, the sati (ritual suicide of widow on husband’s funeral pyre) marks of royal widows – the last to commit sati were Maharaja Man Singh’s widows in 1843.
Past Loha Pol you’ll find a restaurant and Suraj Pol, which gives access to the museum. Once you’ve visited the museum, continue on from here to the panoramic ramparts, which are lined with impressive antique artillery. The ramparts were fenced off in 2016 after a fatal selfie accident – hopefully a temporary measure, as the views are spectacular.
Also worth exploring is the right turn from Jai Pol, where a path winds down to the Chokelao Bagh, a restored and gorgeously planted 18th-century Rajput garden (you could lose an afternoon here lolling under shady trees reading a book), and the Fateh Pol. You can exit here into the old city quarter of Navchokiya.
You don’t need a ticket to enter the fort itself, only the museum section. However, the museum guards may not let you walk past the museum entrance, so it's better to enter from Fateh Pol if you wish to just wander about the grounds.

Mesmerizing Mehrangarh Fort Jodhpur India
A magnificent historical edifice that serves as the crowning glory of Jodhpur, this fort stands on top of a raised hillock that is 400 metres above the level of its surrounding terrains. With its sprawling expanse, it prides in being one of the largest forts present across the country. The eventful history, well-preserved heritage and impressive architecture of this fort make it the face of Jodhpur on national as well as global platform.
Mehrangarh – a word for 'fort of the sun' – was chosen as the name of this massive structure that is 500 yards long and features 120-feet high and 70-feet thick walls. Today, this fort is preserved and owned by Maharaja Gaj Singh II – the current Rathore ruler.
The highlights are its seven imposing entrances, which include the famous Jai Pol (victory gate) and Fateh Pol. Exquisitely designed palaces like Moti Mahal (Jodhpur Zenana), Sheesh Mahal, Takhat Vilas and Phul Mahal speak of the architectural splendour of the royals. Mirror work, intricate ornamentation, beautiful glass panel, alcove and impressive woodwork adorn these palatial buildings.
A large part of the Mehrangarh Fort has been converted into a heritage museum, which is one of the finest museums across the country. The three-storey Daulat Khana Gallery houses treasured artefacts related to Rathores. Visitors can purchase exclusive souvenirs from the museum shop, which is the only such shop in the country.
Jodhpur (Mehrangarh Fort) : Daulat Khana Chowk
Le panoramearth est pris de la Daulat Khana Chowk (la place du palais impérial). Au début de la vidéo, on voit l'aile est du Phool Mahal. A partir de la seconde 14 de la vidéo, on voit des arcades qui donnent sur la rampe d'accès est, en contre-bas (les deux touristes que l'on voit sur le pano à 1 minute 15 secondes, sont sous ces arcades). A la seconde 33, fioriture au zoom sur les membres d'un petit groupe folklorique en pause (et qui pose avec les touristes). A partir de la seconde 49, une nouvelle contre-plongée sur la façade de grès rose d'un autre palais. A 1 minute 8 secondes, un second groupe folklorique assis au fond de la cour, où l'on voit l'entrée du Daulat Khana. A 1 minute 20, en hauteur, le Phool Mahal (le palais des fleurs), au-dessus duquel se trouve une terrasse, celle du Jhanki Mahal (le palais du coup d'œil), dont on voit la rambarde (voir le pano pour découvrir cette terrasse). A partir de 1:20, une seconde séquence vidéo en fioriture, où l'on voit le premier groupe en action (les déguisements doivent renvoyer à l'expression d'un mythe hindou). A partir de 5:25, une troisième séquence vidéo fioriture sur le second groupe de danseurs. Là, un autre mythe est illustré. Bon, soyons clairs : costumes, peintures, chorégraphies, mises en scène, sont de piètre facture, juste de quoi égailler le touriste.

India - Jodhpur - Mehrangarh Fort - 2017. in (4K)
Mehrangarh Fort located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India. Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 410 feet (125 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of cannonball hits by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.
There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur, Udaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention.
The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms.
Rao Jodha, the chief of the Rathore clan, is credited with the origin of Jodhpur in India. He founded Jodhpur in 1459 (Jodhpur was previously known as Marwar). He was one of Ranmal's 24 sons and became the fifteenth Rathore ruler. One year after his accession to the throne, Jodha decided to move his capital to the safer location of Jodhpur, as the one thousand years old Mandore fort was no longer considered to provide sufficient security.
With the trusted aid of Rao Nara (son of Rao Samra), the Mewar forces were subdued at Mandore. With that, Rao Jodha gave Rao Nara the title of Diwan. With the help of Rao Nara, the foundation of the fort was laid on 12 May 1459[1] by Jodha on a rocky hill 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) to the south of Mandore. This hill was known as Bhaurcheeria, the mountain of birds. According to legend to build the fort he had to displace the hill's sole human occupant, a hermit called Cheeria Nathji, the lord of birds. Upset at being forced to move Cheeria Nathji cursed Rao Jodha with Jodha! May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water!. Rao Jodha managed to appease the hermit by building a house and a temple in the fort very near the cave the hermit had used for meditation, though only to the extent that even today the area is plagued by a drought every 3 to 4 years. Jodha then took an extreme measure to ensure that the new site proved propitious; he buried a man called Raja Ram Meghwal alive in the foundations. Raja Ram Meghwal was promised that in return his family would be looked after by the Rathores. To this day his descendants still live in Raj Bagh, Raja Ram Meghwal's Garden, an estate bequeathed them by Jodha.
Rao Jodha then invited the famous female hindu warrior sage of Charan caste, Shri Karni Mata, to lay down the foundation stone of the Mehrangarh Fort and the same was carried out by her. Today only the forts of Bikaner and Jodhpur remain in the hands of Rathors, both had their foundation stone laid by Shri Karni Mata. All other Rajput forts of Rajasthan were abandoned for some or the other reasons by the respective clans. Only the Rathors of Jodhpur and Bikaner have their forts with them till date. This fact is considered a miracle by the local population and is attributed to Shri Karni Mata.
Rao Jodha also granted villages of Mathania and Chopasni to the two Charan warlords who were sent by him to request Shri Karni Mata to come to Jodhpur.
Mehrangarh (etymology: 'Mihir' (Sanskrit) -sun or Sun-deity; 'garh' (Sanskrit)-fort; i.e.'Sun-fort'); according to Rajasthani language pronunciation conventions,'Mihirgarh' has changed to 'Mehrangarh'; the Sun-deity has been the chief deity of the Rathore dynasty.[2] Though the fortress was originally started in 1459 by Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur, most of the fort which stands today dates from the period of Jaswant Singh of Marwar (1638–78). The fort is located at the centre of the city spreading over 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) on top of a high hill. Its walls, which are up to 36 metres (118 ft) high and 21 metres (69 ft) wide, protect some of the most beautiful and historic palaces in Rajasthan.

Entry to the fort is gained though a series of seven gates. The most famous of the gates are:
Jai Pol (Gate of Victory), built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1806 to celebrate his victory in a war with Jaipur and Bikaner.
Fateh Pol, built to celebrate a victory over the Mughals in 1707;
Dedh Kamgra Pol, which still bears the scars of bombardment by cannonballs;

Mehrangarh fort jodhpur history in hindi
Rao Jodha, the chief of the Rathore clan, is credited with the origin of Jodhpur in India. He founded Jodhpur in 1459 (Jodhpur was previously known as Marwar). He was one of Ranmal's 24 sons and became the fifteenth Rathore ruler. One year after his accession to the throne, Jodha decided to move his capital to the safer location of Jodhpur, as the one thousand years old Mandore fort was no longer considered to provide sufficient security.
With the trusted aid of Rao Nara (son of Rao Samra), the Mewar forces were subdued at Mandore. With that, Rao Jodha gave Rao Nara the title of Diwan. With the help of Rao Nara, the foundation of the fort was decided on 12 May 1459[1] by Jodha on a rocky hill 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) to the south of Mandore. This hill was known as Bhakurcheeria, the mountain of birds. According to legend to build the fort he had to displace the hill's sole human occupant, a hermit called Cheeria Nathji, the lord of birds. Cheeria Nathji was a man with local population as his followers and hence influential in the region.When requested to move he refused categorically. This happened many times. Rao Jodha then took extreme measures and sought help from another more powerful saint, the female warrior sage of Charan caste Shri Karni Mata of Deshnok.On request of the king she came and asked Cheeria Nathji to quit immediately. Seeing a superior power he left at once but cursed Rao Jodha with words Jodha! May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water!. Rao Jodha managed to appease the hermit by building a house and a temple in the fort. Seeing the influence of Karni Mata Rao Jodha then invited her to lay down the foundation stone of the Mehrangarh Fort and the same was carried out by her. Today only the forts of Bikaner and Jodhpur remain in the hands of Rathors, both had their foundation stone laid by Shri Karni Mata. All other Rajput forts of Rajasthan were abandoned for some or the other reasons by the respective clans. Only the Rathors of Jodhpur and Bikaner have their forts with them till date. This fact is considered a miracle by the local population and is attributed to Shri Karni Mata.Rao Jodha also granted villages of Mathania and Chopasni to the two Charan warlords who were sent by him to request Shri Karni Mata to come to Jodhpur.
To ensure that the new site proved propitious; he buried a man of meghwal caste called Raja Ram Meghwal, who offered his services voluntarily, alive in the foundations as this was considered auspicious those days. Raja Ram Meghwal was promised that in return his family would be looked after by the Rathores. To this day his descendants still live in Raj Bagh, Raja Ram Meghwal's Garden.
Mehrangarh (etymology: 'Mihir' (Sanskrit) -sun or Sun-deity; 'garh' (Sanskrit)-fort; i.e.'Sun-fort'); according to Rajasthani language pronunciation conventions,'Mihirgarh' has changed to 'Mehrangarh'; the Sun-deity has been the chief deity of the Rathore dynasty.[2] Though the fortress was originally started in 1459 by Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur, most of the fort which stands today dates from the period of Jaswant Singh of Marwar (1638–78). The fort is located at the centre of the city spreading over 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) on top of a high hill. Its walls, which are up to 36 metres (118 ft) high and 21 metres (69 ft) wide, protect some of the most beautiful and historic palaces in Rajasthan.
The imposing silhouette of the Mehrangarh fort against the stunning clouds at Jodhpur.
Entry to the fort is gained though a series of seven gates. The most famous of the gates are:
Jai Pol (Gate of Victory), built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1806 to celebrate his victory in a war with Jaipur and Bikaner.
Fateh Pol, built to celebrate a victory over the Mughals in 1707;
Dedh Kamgra Pol, which still bears the scars of bombardment by cannonballs;
Loha Pol, which is the final gate into the main part of the fort complex. Immediately to the left are the handprints (sati marks) of the ranis who in 1843 immolated themselves on the funeral pyre of their husband, Maharaja Man Singh.
Within the fort are several brilliantly crafted and decorated palaces. These include, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Sheesha Mahal (Mirror Palace), Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana. The museum houses a collection of palanquins, howdahs, royal cradles, miniatures, musical instruments, costumes and furniture. The ramparts of the fort house preserved old cannon (including the famous Kilkila), and provided a breath-taking view of the city.

India Jodhpur Mehrangarh Fort 2010
Jodhpur Fort Mehrangarh | Largest fort in India | Rajasthan | History
Mehrangarh Jodhpur Fort, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India.
Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 410 feet (125 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of the impact of cannonballs fired by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.
There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur, Udaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention.
The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period.

Jodhpur (Mehrangarh Fort) : Parking du fort
Le panoramearth est pris du parking du fort, au nord. A la seconde 17 de la vidéo, une belle vue sur le fort, du côté nord, avec les trois tours qui supportent le Fateh Mahal (palais nommé ainsi en l'honneur de Fateh Pir Baba, un grand saint soufi qui a béni la famille royale). A la seconde 30, fioriture au zoom sur des ouvriers (ouvrières) en train de restaurer (ou construire de novo ! Il faut s'attendre à tout en Inde) un monument avec une coupole. Remarquez les deux femmes qui travaillent en tenue traditionnelle. En Inde, les notions de tenue de travail, de sécurité, sont inexistantes, tout comme la notion de signalisation et isolation des travaux sur la voie publique...
Le Fort de Mehrangarh (le « Fort du Soleil »), situé au nord de la ville de Jodhpur, est l'un des plus grands forts de l'Inde. Ce fort est situé sur une colline, à 122 mètres au-dessus de la ville (348 mètres d'altitude) et est entouré par d'imposantes et épaisses murailles (jusqu'à 36 mètres de haut et 26 mètres de large). Il contient plusieurs palais connus pour leurs sculptures complexes et leurs cours spacieuses. Une route sinueuse conduit au fort, à partir de la ville en contrebas. Le fort comporte sept portes, parmi lesquelles : « Jai Pol » (« porte de la victoire », construite par le Maharaja Man Singh pour commémorer ses victoires sur les armées de Jaipur et Bikaner, 1806), « Fateh Pol » (signifiant aussi « porte de la victoire » et construite par Maharaja Ajit Singh pour marquer la défaite des Moghols, 1707). A proximité de ces portes on trouve sur le mur, les empreintes de main des femmes de guerriers qui se sont immolées, selon la tradition ancienne, à la suite du décès de leurs époux. Les autres portes sont : « Loha Pol » (la « porte de fer »), « Dedh Kamgra Pol ». Le musée du fort de Mehrangarh est l'un des musées les plus riches du Rajasthan. Dans une partie de ce musée on trouve d'anciens palanquins royaux. On y trouve aussi des armes d'époque, des costumes, des peintures et de magnifiques chambres, halls, palais, richement décorés. Au moins huit palais sont présents : Daulat Khana (palais impérial), Fateh Mahal, Moti Mahal (palais de la perle), Sheesh Mahal (palais des miroirs), Phool Mahal (palais des fleurs), Takhat Vilas (la chambre royale du Maharaja Takhat Singh), Jhanki Mahal (palais du coup d'œil, où les femmes de la cour pouvaient voir sans être vues les audiences royales), Zenana Deodi (palais des femmes de la cour royale).

Jodhpur est l'ancienne capitale du Marvar et la deuxième ville de l'État indien du Rajasthan en nombre d'habitants. Elle est située à 340 km de Jaipur, la capitale de l'état. Jodhpur fut fondée en 1459 par Rao Jodha, chef du clan des Rathore. Jodhpur est communément surnommée la ville bleue car la plupart des maisons de la vieille ville sont peintes de cette couleur. Le bleu indiquait que ces maisons appartenaient à des membres de la caste des brahmanes. Le bleu offre aussi l'avantage de protéger de la chaleur et de repousser les moustiques. Jodhpur est aussi appelée « la cité du soleil » en raison de l'exceptionnel ensoleillement dont elle jouit tout au long de l'année.

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India - Pink city
There are slides of Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, Palace of Winds, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal, Maota Lake, view from Jaigarh Fort, etc.
Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amer after whom the city is named. As of 2011, the city has a population of 3.1 million, making it the tenth most populous city in the country. Jaipur is also known as the Pink City of India.
Located at a distance of 260 km from the Indian capital New Delhi, it forms a part of the Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Agra. Jaipur is a popular tourist destination in India and serves as a gateway to other tourist destinations in Rajasthan such as Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur.
The city was planned according to Indian Vastu shastra by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya in 1727. There are three gates facing east, west, and north. The eastern gate is called Suraj pol (sun gate), the western gate is called Chand pol (moon gate) and the northern gate faces the ancestral capital of Amer.
The city is unusual among pre-modern Indian cities in the regularity of its streets, and the division of the city into six sectors by broad streets 34 m wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses the Hawa Mahal palace complex, formal gardens, and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort, which was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city.
