Jodhpur

Delhi

Explore

DelhiIndia's capital city, Delhi, strikingly brings to life the ancient past while at the same time showcases India's modern future. It's divided into two parts -- the crumbling old city of Old Delhi, and the orderly and well planned New Delhi -- which exist side by side, but feel like they're worlds apart. The city is dotted with spellbinding mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied the city.

Jodhpur

The ‘Blue City’, as it is known, was founded on the edges of Thar Desert in 1459 A.D by Rao Jodha, a chief of the Rathore clan of the Rajputs. It was the capital of the Rathore Kingdom, which was the largest in the Rajputana. Jodhpur is the second largest city in Rajasthan after Jaipur, and is encircled by a high 10 km long wall. The city is blessed with a number of forts, temples, gardens and lakes. The historic grandeur, exquisite handicrafts, folk dances, music and the brightly attired people lend an aura of romance to the city. The city lies 317 km. from Jaipur and 597 km. from the national capital New Delhi. It is well connected by rail to Jaipur and New Delhi.

Mehrangarh Fort

Considered one of India's best forts, this invincible stronghold of the Marwars sits on a steep hill lording over a wonderful view of its surroundings. It is also a beautiful fort and undoubtedly, the jewel of Jodhpur. Intricate latticed windows, elaborately carved panels and elegantly curved porches speak of beauty and taste. No matter what part of the fort you are in, its ambience will leave you in awe and your senses reeling.

Jaswant Thada

Close to the fort complex, this 19th century cenotaph was built in white marble, in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Rare portraits of Jodhpur's past rulers are also displayed here. Walk around and savour the intricate work both on the lattices and the doors. The gardens and water tank built in front of the cenotaph provide this place the perfect setting for serenity.

Mandore

Travel just 8 kms from the city to visit Mandore, once the capital of Marwar. There are old cenotaphs of the Rathore rulers and craggy caves that once sheltered homeless ascetics here. While the sixteen deities carved out of the rock face are rather garishly displayed in a niche adjacent to a temple within the complex, the exquisitely landscaped gardens are home to a variety of birds and small animals.

Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum

A fabulous art-deco edifice, Umaid Bhawan is fabulously maintained and contains within, the museum - a veritable treasure-trove of memorabilia showcasing the royal past of Jodhpur. Peek into a little of everything that royalty lived with - from tea sets and clocks to paintings and royal apparel.

Jodhpur City attractions

The Indian solider was an essential support of the British Empire worldwide. Post 1858, the British redesigned the Indian army around the Martial Race Theory, in order to secure the Raj. Based on their loyalty towards the British, various Indian communities were deemed "martial races", characterized with qualities such as manliness and bravery. The Rajputs were a martial race and therefore, the Imperial Cadet Corps (ICC) and the Jodhpur Lancers emerged as important parts of the army.To reduce the expenditure of “Govt. Of India” Viceroy Lord Dufferin (1884-1888) introduced the scheme of imperial services, i.e. forces raised in and paid for by princely states. Sir Pratap’s Jodhpur’s regiment, the Jodhpur Lancers, joined in immediately.Polo in its modern form was introduced when Sir Pratap invited the Bengal Lancers to raise the Jodhpur Lancers. By 1899, the Jodhpur lancers were divided into 2 regiments- each made up of 8 squadron officers, 8 jamadars, 8 kote daffadars, and 1058 sowars; and organized by clan. The Lancers' duty took them to China during the Boxer Rebellion of 1901 and, to middle east and France during the First World War.Each year the Indian Army honors the Jodhpur Lancers. On 23rd Sept 1918 they captured Haifa from Turkish German forces. "With great dash, however, the 15th Brigade galloped the enemy positions, and within a short time had captured the town! Much to everybody's regret, the son of General Sir Pertab Singh was killed during this attack. His loss was much regretted by his comrades and all who knew him".The courageous uphill assault by the Jodhpur Lancers, which took by surprise the German and Turkish artillery and machine gun emplacements on Mount Carmel, is commemorated by the Haifa Monument that stands at one of Delhi's busiest intersections, Teen Murti.

Jodhpur Lancers

Jodhpurs Riding PantsThe history of jodhpurs is tied up with the history of the game of Polo. Around 1890 Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh of Jodhpur started wearing riding breeches tailored for the game. These were cut in a wing-shape and had leather patches between the knees to provide maximum comfort while riding horse or playing polo. These became known as "Jodhpurs" and were worn by all polo players within a very short time. In the 1920's women adopted men's riding breeches and sat astride horses (and even played the occasional Polo game) and so wore Jodhpurs. The Jodhpurs are now "de rigueur" riding garb. They are cut full at the hips, very tight fitting from knee to ankle, ending in a cuff with a strap under the instep.

Nowadays they have translated to ethnic fashion statements and are used as ethnic and traditional wear. It can be worn with hunting shirts, short shirts, Jodhpuri coat or Nehru jacket. These custom made breeches worn with Jodhpuri suit lend a feeling of elegance and add a touch of royalty.

OsianThis hamlet outside Jodhpur is home to temples, golden sand dunes and a delightful little village

It was these Maharajas who in the off season for Horse Polo took on the game of Cycle Polo to keep themselves fit.

After the 2nd World War when the horses were reduced from Army activities, the game of Cycle Polo became popular with the Indian and British regiments.

From the Princely connections to the glamour of the Army regiments the game of Cycle Polo became COMMAN MEN’S GAME in the year 1961 with formation of Cycle Polo Federation of India

The team consists of eight players, with four players playing on the ground while four will be reserved. The duration of game is 30 minutes with four sessions, called “chukkers,. Each session consists of 7 1/2 minutes. There is a three-minute interval between chukkers, except at halftime when the break is five minutes. Teams change ends after every goal, except if the goal has been awarded as compensation for foul play. Teams also change ends at halftime. Substitutions only can take place between chukkers and there are an unlimited number of substitutions.
