Brahmapuri: A blue patterned sub city of Jodhpur

Brahmapuri
Brahmapuri is a old city or inner city in the city of  "Blue City"(Jodhpur). In Brahmapuri, most of the homes are blue colored. Brahmapuri is situated at the foot of the majestic and historical Mehrangarh. It is a settlement of Brahmins, a caste in the Hindu system and is distinguished by its electric and azure blue colored walls, due to which the city is sometimes called the "Blue City" of India.
Brahmapuri is characterized by its organic street pattern, where primary lane bifurcates into a complex skein of sub-lanes. The main street however run North-South and slope downwards steeply and end at the twin-lakes namely the Roop Sagar and Padam Sagar at the foot of the fort. The streets in Brahmapuri are extremely narrow, not without a reason. The houses(aligned east-west) more often, cast a shadow on the street at both times of the day(morning hours and evening hours), thus leaving the streets cool. The plinth height of all houses in Brahmapuri are more than 1.5 meters height at times to escape the reflection of sun rays from the street. In the Brahmapuri, many bollywood films and advertisements have been successfully scheduled. Brahmapuri people are calm and sweet, they come ahead to help others. It is great place for photoshoot and when festivals and fairs are celebrated in Jodhpur, this is the awesome and great place to visit. All the houses are decorated and lighten. We can say, this inner city is heart of Jodhpur.
