Mehrangarh Fort, huge hilltop fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, built about 1459 by Rao Jodha, a member of the Rathore branch of the Rajput clan and the 15th Rathore ruler of Marwar. It had become clear to Rao Jodha that he needed to move his capital from Mandore to somewhere that he could defend more easily, and work was begun on the fortifications of a new city that would be named after him: Jodhpur. Most of the present fort dates from the 17th century, however.
One of the largest forts in India, the Mehrangarh Fort stands on a range of sandstone hills some 400 feet (122 m) above the inhospitable Thar Desert, dominating the surrounding area. Its imposing walls rise to a maximum height of 120 feet (36 m) and are 65 feet (20 m) wide in places, and and the fort encompasses 1,200 acres (486 ha). There are seven gates, the most famous of which is Jai Pol, built in 1808 to commemorate a war victory.
