Found in the Indian state of Rajasthan, the city of Jodhpur is a popular tourist destination in India because of its enigmatic blue appearance. Due to the vivid blue-painted houses around the Mehrangarh Fort, it has been referred to as the “Blue City”. It is also known as the “Sun City” because it has a sunny weather all throughout the year.

The reason why the residents painted their buildings with blue still remains a mystery. Some say it may have been the Brahmins, members of the highest Hindu caste, who wanted to indicate their social status. Others say it is a way to prevent termites and other insects from destroying the structures. Not knowing the cause of such phenomenon still does not stop people from admiring this impenetrable Indian city.
