Rajasthan rolling - 4 (Haldighati, Kumbalgarh & Ranakpur)
We checked out of the hotel at 07:15 as our itinerary included several places to visit on our way to Jodhpur. The first was Eklin Temple (Darshan Times: 0415-0645, 1030-1330, 1715-1945) which was closed when we arrived so we headed to Natdwar just to check the darshan times (Mangla 0530, Shringar 079719, Gwal, Gwal) : 079715, Gval.
Haldigati where we saw the monument of Maharana Pratap and his horse Chetak.
A few meters away from the monuments is the wonderful museum of Maharana Pratap's life, which is worth a visit.
Supports the individual. There is a nice restaurant where we had hot samosas and parathas with a hot mug.
Next was Maharana Pratap's birthplace, Kumbalgarh Fort.
The fortifications of the fortress stretched for 36 kilometers. It is said to be the second longest wall in the world, the first being the "Great Wall of China".
Kumbhalgarh (also spelled Kumbhalmer or Kumbhalgarh) is a Mewar fort in the Rajsamand district of Rajasthan, western India. It was built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha and the descendants of his Sisodia dynasty.
Ranakpur temple complex was the last place to visit before reaching Jodhpur. without some big ones
handicrafts are displayed there. Remember that if you are wearing shorts, you will need to rent pajamas before entering the temple grounds. Entry fee for cameras only. Free for visitors.
This famous Jain temple in Ranakpur is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara (holy man) of our era.
Light marble was used to build this huge temple, which covers an area of approximately 60 x 62 meters.
With distinctive domes, shikharas, towers and cupolas, the temple rises majestically from the hillside.
More than 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars support the temple. All the pillars are carved differently and no two pillars are alike. They also say that pillars cannot be counted. Also, all the statues are looking at this or that statue.
The temple is built in the form of cast iron with four sides. The construction of the temple and the four-fold image symbolize Tirtankara's conquest of the four corners of the world and thus the universe.
The dating of this temple is disputed, but it is generally considered to be late 14th to mid 15th century.
Inspired by a dream of a celestial vehicle, Dhanna Shah, a barwad, is said to have commissioned it under the patronage of Rana Kumbha, the then ruler of Mewar.
It was said that the architect responsible for the project was called Deepak.
The road from Ranakpur to Jodhpur via NH14 and NH65 was bumpy. This is bad. The length is 171 km.
I reached JI Haveli at 9:30 PM, tired but happy after walking 307 km from Udaipur.
I had a quick lunch at the rooftop restaurant and passed out.
