Jodhpur city

 On the 12th of May, Jodhpur celebrates its founding anniversary.

Established in 1459 by Rao Jodha, leader of the Rathore clan of Rajputs, Jodhpur's origins are steeped in legend. It is said that Rao Jodha chose the site for his new capital following the advice of a hermit, who recommended a rocky hill for its strategic advantage against potential adversaries. Thus, Mehrangarh Fort was erected atop this hill, serving as the nucleus around which the city of Jodhpur flourished. Under the patronage of the Rathore dynasty, Jodhpur thrived as a pivotal trading hub along the ancient silk route linking Delhi to the ports of Gujarat. Umed Bhawan Palace, constructed by Maharaja Umed Singh in 1942, is renowned worldwide for its grandeur and beauty. No wonder Bollywood heartthrob Priyanka Chopra chose this venue for her marriage. Of course, Mukesh bhai celebrated Mrs. Neeta Ambani's birthday at this magnificent palace. Jodhpur is famed for its culinary heritage, boasting delicacies such as Dalbati, Churma, Gate ki Sabji, Mave Ki Kachori, Lassi, Chaturbhuj ke Gulab Jamun, Mirchi Bade, Pyaj ki Kachori, Rabdi ke Laddu, Rabdi ke Ghewar, Kopte, and Makhanwada. The city has nurtured a lineage of distinguished professionals, including lawyers, Chartered Accountants, doctors, management graduates, and educators. Notable figures like Shri Anand Rathi, Laxmi Mal Singhvi, Dalveer Bhandari (International Court of Justice), former Chief Justice of India R.M. Lodha, and CA Shyam Kumbhat are held in high regard, bringing honour to Jodhpur. Let's embark on a journey through the city via my video.
