Jodhpur's Blue Story

 

Jodhpur loves the colour blue because it stands for peace and prosperity. It also mirrors the clear skies over the desert. Many years ago, many families painted their homes blue. This tradition continues today, making Jodhpur a beautiful blue city. Blue is also believed to protect against bad vibes and bring in good ones.

The Dulux Let's Colour Project

 

Dulux is helping to preserve India's heritage through the ""Let's Colour"" project in Jodhpur. We repainted over 250 homes blue with the help of volunteers and local artists, using over 5,600 litres of paint! This project not only revived the world-famous blue city but also helped make homes cooler and more comfortable during hot summers. Rooftops were painted with heat-reflective paint, which significantly improved living conditions.

The ""Let's Colour"" project also created twenty colourful murals around Jodhpur, showcasing Rajasthan's beautiful art. These murals turned the city into an open-air gallery, adding even more charm. The vibrant artwork celebrates the local culture and adds to the city's visual appeal. It’s a celebration of Jodhpur’s artistic heritage and a testament to the community’s creativity.
