...fortress cities, fortified temples, forts with wonderful courtyards and city palaces today still owned by the local Maraja and Maharara (who used to rule over wide portions of the indian peninsula, after 1947 they lost the majority of their lands and properties)...an impressive heritage built between the 12.-15. Cent. ... and the Meherangarh fort of Jodhpur which sits atop a sheer rocky ridge right in the middle of the old 'blue city' (apparently the blue color is an efficient natural repellent) is definitively my preferred one for its elegance and beautiful palatial buildings, the huge structure and strategic position...on the way to Udaipur we had lunch in the pilgrims canteen of the Jaine temple of Ranakpur...probably the nicest temple we have seen in India...and definitively the cheapest lunch I have ever had, just 0.25 euro :)
