A Rathore Rajput chief, Rao Jodha founded the state of Marwar and Jodhpur in 1459. Initially, Mandore was the capital of Marwar. However, during the lifetime of Rao Jodha, Jodhpur served as the state capital.

The city is also known as the "Sun City" for the bright sunny weather all year around. For some reason the city is painted blue and you see the color as far as the eys can see.
