Pre-wedding shoot in India

Pre-wedding shoot in Jodhpur

A city washed in indigo at the foot of Mehrangarh, one of India's largest forts. Blue lanes, a rose-red stepwell, and the sandstone cenotaphs of Marwar's kings.

Best time: October to March; rooftops in the morning, Mandore and the stepwell in the late afternoon.

Where photographers take couples

  • Blue city rooftops, Jodhpur

    Blue city rooftops

    From the old quarter's rooftops the blue houses climb all the way to Mehrangarh, a fort begun in 1459 on a rock 120 metres above the city.

  • Blue lanes, Jodhpur

    Blue lanes

    The old city's houses are washed in indigo blue. Some say it keeps them cool in summer; others that it once marked the homes of priests.

  • Painted walls, Jodhpur

    Painted walls

    Murals of turbaned, moustached Rajput men watch over the blue lanes, painted by local artists on walls that were plain a decade ago.

  • Toorji ka Jhalra, Jodhpur

    Toorji ka Jhalra

    A stepwell built in the 1740s by a queen of Jodhpur, its rose-red sandstone steps falling to green water. It lay buried in silt for decades before being cleaned in 2016.

  • Mandore Gardens, Jodhpur

    Mandore Gardens

    The old capital of Marwar, where the red sandstone cenotaphs of Jodhpur's rulers rise among gardens, carved like temples.
