Blue City Identification

The question asks to identify which Indian city is famously known as the ‘Blue City’. This nickname is derived from the distinctive colour of its buildings.

City Nickname Explanation

  • Jaipur is known as the 'Pink City'.
  • Bikaner is known as the 'Red City' or has historical significance related to forts.
  • Jodhpur is widely recognized as the ‘Blue City’ due to the prevalent blue-painted houses in its old town area, Mehrangarh Fort. The blue colour is traditionally associated with Brahmin households and is thought to keep houses cool and repel insects.
  • Ajmer is known for its religious significance, particularly the Dargah Sharif.

Based on these common associations, Jodhpur is the correct identification for the ‘Blue City’.
