| The Blue City |
However, India is a country that can deliver great amount of beauty for the all 4 senses. This is proven once more by the beautiful city of Jodhpur or “The Blue City”.
The city is located in the state of Rajasthan- one of the poorest in the country. Partly this was the reason for the strange and in the same way beautiful colours of the place. The people of the lower castes paint their houses in order to show their lower social status. The Brahmins, the poorest in the caste system decided that they need to differentiate from the other casts and that this is the proper way for doing that.
However, a simple walk in the city gives much more than the blue houses view. A whole bouquet of smells, feelings of great silk and other sensitive materials, beautiful colours. The city is located in the foot of the Mehrangarh Fort. Other popular name of the city is the Sun City because of the bright and nice weather during most of the year.
At the moment the city is a major and important education centre thanks to the “Indian Institute of Technology”, NLU - National Law University ,Jodhpur National University, NIFT - National Institute of Fashion Technology, Ayurveda University, JNVU - Jai Narayan Vyas University, , which falls under JNVU university, is the world's only institute which has its own mines.
