Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking up from the old town of Brahmpuri or from Jaswant Thada toward the towering cliff and ramparts of Mehrangarh Fort, showing neem tree branches and blue flat rooftops in the foreground, the dense blue city lanes and sheer vertical sandstone cliff in the middle-ground, and the colossal palace bastions of Mehrangarh Fort crowning the rock against the soft desert sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick canopies of neem and khejri trees around the base of the fort, Jaswant Thada gardens, and stepwell enclaves.
