There are 3 most famous "blue cities" in the world, which are very different from the pure seaside island of Santorini in Greece and the ****** blue and white towns in the world, Djodhappur, India, is a gorgeous city in the desert, when you climb the greatest building in Jodhpur - Mehlangarh Fort and look at the whole city, the gorgeous blue will definitely shock you for a long time!

After the wedding, the two young people who were almost tormented by the complicated wedding ceremony hurriedly started their honeymoon trip, and the first stop was in the blue city of Jodapur, in the center of the desert!

Many Indian cities have a very interesting nickname, some are named after colors, such as the blue city of Jodhapur, the pink city of Jaipur, the golden city of Jansmail, and the characteristics of the city, such as the aforementioned Kabangraho, which is famous for its sex temple, is called the city of sex, Bikaniel, which is famous for its temple of rats, Agra, which is famous for the Taj Mahal, is known as the city of love, Varanasi, which is famous for bathing in the holy river, is known as the city of baths, and the poor city of Jansi, the city of Pushkar, Huancheng Goa, Cineplex Mumbai and so on.

Although they are both cities named after colors, the blue city of Jodhapur and the pink city of Jaipur are not the same, and the reason why Jaipur is a pink city is mandatory. In 1727, Jaisingh, the then Maharajai of Jaipur (from whom the name of Jaipur derives his name), built a pink palace in red sandstone in the style of the Red Fort in Old Delhi in order to pay homage to Shah Jai Khan the Great of the Mughals. His descendants continued to renovate the palace, and slowly the palace became a museum of pink architecture. It wasn't until 1876 that with that decisive event, Fancheng finally deserved its name. In that year, the world had already changed the banner of the king, and the British Empire was the master. Also to please his master, the Prince of Jaipur, in order to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince of England, has issued a mandatory decree that all houses in the city should be painted pink for me!

Due to the coercive nature, no one continued to paint after the lack of a mandatory order, and after more than 100 years of wind and rain, the walls of many parts of Jaipur have faded and peeled off, and only the large patches of color remain.

Not only has the large-scale painting organized by the local government lasted for hundreds of years, but it was also common to see local people smearing their houses blue with blue mops.

And unlike the blue city (Santorini) in Greece, although the main color of Jodhaupur is blue, the color scheme is red, yellow, green, and gray, all of which are messy and colorful, unlike Santorini, which is white except for blue, clean and pure connected to the sea and the sky.

In this regard, Shakru asked teasingly: "Ah Misha, compared with the blue city of Greece." Does it mean that the aesthetic level of the citizens here is high enough to be able to agree that simple colors are more in line with people's subconscious pursuit of beauty than complex colors, and sublimate this consciousness into social norms for everyone to abide by. Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart, and talking about aesthetics in such a place is like discussing the latest season of Parisian fashion with local farmers in the mountains of China, which is an insult to both parties.

"Less nonsense, there are two official versions of this. One theory is that blue has the effect of repelling mosquitoes......"

Hearing this, Shakru couldn't help but complain in his heart, God, this is the first time I've heard Indians actually use scientific principles to explain real life, although the source of the theory is not a scientist's laboratory report, but a simple empiricism, but this is shocking enough. But after thinking about it carefully, Shakru couldn't help but interrupt Ah Misha's words and said: "This statement seems unreliable, if this blue stucco is really very good at repelling mosquitoes, then other cities have long followed suit, but the fact is that this situation is only reserved in the city of Jodapur." ”

Ah Misha slapped him and said, "Before they finished speaking, you interrupted, isn't there a second way of saying it, it is said that this is the territory of Brahma, and all the residents of the Blue City are all his followers." And the palace of the creator god is blue. No matter how the locals paint their houses dark blue and light blue, the subtext is to say, Brahma and I are with you. ”

Shakru nodded and said, "Well, this is relatively close to the Indian people's feelings. In this country, where theology is far more advanced than science, it may be right to think of God in everything. ”

While laughing, the two continued to visit the Meilanjia Castle, which is the military commanding point of the city, and sits on the top of a small hill in the center of the city. The rest of the city's buildings are built around the mountain, and scattered houses are scattered throughout the mountainside valley. The layout of the city is similar to that of Athens, Greece, and from any angle of the city, you can clearly see the citadel (Acropolis).

According to the locals, before the castle was built, the top of the hill was originally the palace of the bird god. The exorcised bird god angrily unleashed the most vicious curse. Let this desert city run out of water forever! Let the plague run rampant in this sin city! Sure enough, the ensuing drought and plague almost turned the flower-filled city into an Indian Guloulan. When the city was in danger, an ascetic saint was willing to bury himself alive under the city, hoping to complete the redemption of the city by suicide sacrifice. Moved by his self-denial, the bird god finally withdrew the spell. Immediately, the people who begged for rain saw a long-lost dark cloud drifting in the distant sky.

On the mountain road leading to the Flower Castle, see the stone tablet carved to commemorate the merits of the saints. Above the inscription is a sacred bird with a canopy on its head. The inscription details that mythical history.

There is still about 200 meters of mountain road from the inscription to the castle gate, and a 90-degree turn suddenly appears near the city gate. The castle was built with the ingenuity of preventing the inertia of the charging elephants from breaking through the gates. In order to further strengthen the defense, hundreds of iron nails more than 1 foot long were lined up vertically and horizontally on the outside of the city gate, and the metallic luster of the forest still seemed to make people feel cold. Although their function has long since changed from military to decorative, in the era of frequent wars and wars of feudal kings, I don't know how many soldiers besieging the city were pierced through the body and died tragically under the city gates, will they die blindly? Just one step away, the castle that marks the most outstanding architectural achievement of ancient India will be in plain sight.
