It is mostly due to the vast expanse of <strong>old stucco houses <\/strong>painted in <strong>blue<\/strong>, which gives an <strong>azure hue<\/strong> to the <strong>cityscape<\/strong>. Even today, many houses are still painted in the bright, <strong>cobalt shade<\/strong> of <strong>blue<\/strong> to <strong>sustain their moniker<\/strong>. But there are many <strong>theories<\/strong> as to why the city was named the <strong>Blue City.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legend says that the <strong>colour blue<\/strong> is associated with <strong>Shiva<\/strong>. During the mythological event of <strong>Samudra Manthan<\/strong>, Shiva swallowed the deadly poison \u2013 <strong>Halahala<\/strong>, to save the planet. The venom turned him<strong> blue<\/strong> and the colour became <strong>sacred for his devotees<\/strong>. Many <strong>Shaivites<\/strong> settled here since <strong>ancient times<\/strong>, and painted their houses in the <strong>colour of Shiva<\/strong> as an <strong>obeisance to their God<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s another old belief that explains the <strong>blue colour<\/strong> as a determiner of <strong>social castes<\/strong> that was prevalent in <strong>ancient times<\/strong>. <strong>Brahmins<\/strong> in those days painted their houses <strong>blue to differentiate themselves <\/strong>from the other <strong>lower castes<\/strong>, as defined by the <strong>Hindu Caste System<\/strong>. They were often referred to as \u201c<strong>Brahmin Houses<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another very <strong>practical rationale<\/strong> for the blue colour comes from the <strong>local practice<\/strong>. Blue is a<strong> cool colour<\/strong> and Jodhpur being a <strong>hot<\/strong> and <strong>dry region<\/strong>, locals <strong>painted their houses blue<\/strong> to <strong>reflect the heat of the sun<\/strong> and maintain a <strong>conducive temperature<\/strong> inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of what theories are attached to the name, the <strong>blue ambience of Jodhpur<\/strong> is an <strong>aesthetically pleasing view<\/strong> and makes for<strong> great photo ops.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Top things to do in Jodhpur\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YdScNIzB140?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan\"><strong>How to Plan a Trip to Jodhpur<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reach\"><strong>How to reach Jodhpur<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CWDo0lkPua8\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Train<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Jodhpur railway station is right in the<strong> city centre<\/strong>.
