A woman and child looking out over the blue city of Jodhpur. Jodhpur is affectionately called the "Blue City" because of the blue houses under and around Mehrangarh Fort. Locals believe the buildings were painted blue to make things appear cooler because of the extreme heat of the area, as well as to add a dash of color to the sandy terrain.
