Mehrangarh (the main fort of Jodhpur and, arguably, the only reason to go there) is a pretty impressive fort. The picture of the entire fort is taken from a couple kms away. The only thing to really note in these snaps is the picture of the hands - they are the handprints of the last wives to perform sati (jumping on the pyre of your dead husband) in Jodhpur - which occurred in 1843. Ah, the gold ol' days...
Such a moving picyure of the handprints. What those women must have been feeling as they made their handprints before they went to kill themselves.
