So here are the (much awaited?) photos finally of the (much talked about?) Jodhpur trip.

View of fort Khimsar and the kingdom
The King's Living Quarters
And one of his chariots
The Suit of Armor
The Sheesh Mahal
Durbar ka Bar
The blood curdling Sati Pol at the fort entrance (notice the size of the hand)
Rajsiya entertainment?
Gaana Bajana
The Picnic in the Dunes

ANIMAL PLANET
Puppet Show
ANIMAL PLANET
The camel who F @ rted
Black Buck & Chinkara
Neelgai
Birds of a feather
Ummed Bhawan- The residence of the King of Jodhpur
Mehrangadh Fort built by several generations in phases
The Holi playing compound
The Conference room- notice the jharokhas on the side- 5 nos for his 5 queens esp needed when the king sought the nod" of his ranis
The King's bedroom- the bed is single and low so that if the "dushman" tie the king to his bed, he can lift it up and stand! so they say!
Palanquin of the King
The ceremonial swords not used for war- yeh khoon se range hue nahin hai
Gulaab lake in the Blue City Jodhur- Legend has it that the concubine wanted something built in her name and the king got a lake built for the ever water starved jodhpur. The concubine wanted something for the son also- the King's assistance divided the lake- a quarter of the lake represents the son
And the Spoils of the War,
The Rajasthani Bundi and the leather animals
