They've Got the Blues!

 

Travelers journeying through the unforgiving Thar desert in the Indian state of Rajasthan would know when they had reached their destination.  The sky would fall to the ground and everything would turn a beautiful blue. Jodhpur would welcome them to a blue treasure in the desert. 

The Mehrangarh Fort towers above the Blue City of Jodhpur.  Around the fort's feet, a jumble of blue cubes stretches out for miles to the 16th century walls. Traditionally the blue signified Brahmin (traditional Hinduism) but today,  it doesn't matter, all of the houses are blue.  Blue is also thought to repel insects.  The modern part of Jodhpur, India isn't quite as blue, but I'm sure just as amazing as there are currently over one million inhabitants.

 

 

Isn't BLUE known for having a calming effect :)!
