Rao Jodha, an ancient Rajput chief, founded the city in 1459 AD. Many of the houses in the city are shades of blue, hence the reason that the city is sometimes referred to as the Blue City.

It's considered one of the most liveable cities in the country and was historically known for its many gardens and lush green spaces.
