Trip to India & Nepal- Jodhpur Part 3- The Fort Museum

A glass palanquin seized in battle from the Maharaja of Gujarat.



The Fort Museum has a wonderful audio guide included in the admission price of 200 rupees (a little over $5.)





There is a wonderful display of antique swords and daggers.















And other weapons. I can't imagine holding this gun.



Or wearing this helmet.



These daggers spread when thrust in.










Carved ivory objects from the harems.







Antique carpet weights


And beautiful court garments.


The ladies, of course, wore them in private.
