All this is represented in the magical and wonderful historical and exquisite sites. Being the second largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan it is historically referred to as the kingdom of Marwar. Jodhpur was princely ruled under the British colonialism from the year 1818 to the year 1949. The city was founded by a Rajput chief known as Rao Jodha was from the clan of Rathore. He conquered the territory of Meherangarh and even built a temple which stands still even now. The temple was named after the goddess Rao revered called Chamunda Devi. The temple was intended to shield them from a revile rendered by the holy person who lived in the slope before Rao vanquished them.
Rao Jodha had made Mandore which was his old neighborhood to fill in as the capital, however later he moved the cash-flow to Jodhpur. Afterward, under the Mughal Empire, the state owed fealty to the Mughal lords consequently presenting Jodhpur to new design styles. The Mughals Lords were intense thus Jodhpur had no other choice yet to submit. Veer Durgadas Rathore reestablished the seat to its legitimate proprietor Maharaja, Ajit Singh after Aurangzeb managed for a brief period.
