Meherangarh Fort is an imposing structure in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Rajasthan was the bastion of Rajput kings and warriors who fought with invaders and marauders protecting their estate. Entire Rajasthan and parts of present-day Gujarat were once under known as Rajputana. Meherangarh Fort is an epitome of strength of the Rajputs who built strong and self-sufficient citadels of power from where they fought with enemies from a vantage point.
