1
Mehranngarh Fort
It’s one of Rajasthan’s three great hilltop forts and it literally means “Majestic Fort”. Here we also find a nice collection of musical instruments, palanquins, furniture and canons on the fort’s ramparts. This fort has its own architectural appeal, such as brilliant stained glass, that creates vibrant mosaics on the floors, with the passage of the sun through the day.
2
Umaid Bhavan Palace
This is also known as Chhittar Palace because of the Chhittar sandstone used to build it. It’s quite western in its design and was meant to give people employment during famine times.

It lies very close to the fort complex. This white marble cenotaph, built in 1899, in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. We can find here rare portraits ofJodhpur Rulers.
