Mehrangarh Fort rising over Jodhpur in Rajasthan. The colossal honey-gold sandstone fort sits on a sheer cliff, its walls and palaces stacked along the rock, lit warm by the late sun. Below it, the old blue city spills down the slope in a dense patch of indigo and cobalt-washed houses, the famous Brahmin blue, with market umbrellas and tiny figures in the lanes. The ochre cliff face drops in heavy palette-knife wedges beneath the walls. Sandhya Kaushik works the fort in warm gold and sienna and crowds the blue houses in cool knife dabs of indigo and slate against a peach-lilac sky.

The warm fort over the cool blue town makes a strong, graphic contrast. It reads well over a sofa, a dining wall, or a study that can carry a large, bold view.
