Wandering through the dry, dusty fabric of the old city of Jodhpur, a traveller will often find himself in one of these cul-de-sacs leading off from the many chowks spread across the neighbourhood of Bramhapuri. Amidst the scorching, sun struck streets, the overlapping of centuries of organic building activities has managed to achieve intimate shaded urban oases of otlas, jharokhas and multitudes of staircases that welcome one to relax a while, enjoy the calm of the unexpected shade, admire its contrast with the hustle and bustle around and breathe in the aroma of the architectural wonder that is the Blue City.
