Ranakpur:
Near the village
of Sadri lies the Ranakpur temple complex, one of the biggest and the most
important cluster of Jain temples in India. Nestled in the Aravalli range,
Ranakpur is a mere 4 km from Maharani Bagh. The Chaumukha Temple, or Four
Faced Temple, is the main temple in the complex and dates back to the 15th
century. Built in marble, the temple has 29 halls supported by more than
1400 pillars, no two of which are alike. The two other Jain temples in the
complex are Neminath and Parasnath temple. The temple complex is open for
non-Jains from noon to 5pm.
Kumbalgarh:
In sheer scale,
size and beauty, the imposing Kumbalgarh Fort is considered second only to
Chittorgarh in the region. Built in the 15th century by
Maharana Kumbha, the fort's main advantage lay in its virtually
inaccessible position atop 1100 metres on the Aravalli Range. No wonder,
Kumbalgarh was taken only once in its entire history, and it was here that
the Mewar rulers retreated in times of danger. |
