Jodhpur is the second largest city of Rajasthan after Jaipur, abundant in rich cultural and historical heritages. Located in the extreme eastern part of the Indian Desert of Thar, Jodhpur is a spectacular land of whitish-golden sand-dunes, yellowish-green shrubs, leafless thorny trees, and great natural beauty.

Jodhpur has been one of the aristocratic & majestic places of India, and the glorious home to the valorous Rathore clan of Rajputs, who claimed descent from Rama. The Rathores sustained harmonious relations with the Mughals and Maharaja Jaswant Singh (1678). In the reign of Maharaja Umed Singh Jodhpur flourished into a beautiful modern city.
