The "Self-Cleaning" Castle of India

The Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India, has a unique "self-cleaning" feature in its architecture. The fort's walls are made of a type of sandstone that is naturally resistant to erosion and staining. During the monsoon season, the fort's walls are washed clean by the heavy rainfall, which is said to remove dirt and grime, making it appear as though the fort is self-cleaning. This phenomenon has been observed and documented by historians and visitors to the fort.
