"Garh" means fort (or so I've deduced), and Chittorgarh and Kumbulgarh are two of Asia's largest - in fact I think the former *actually* is the largest. We're talking nearly 30 sq. km.! You either don't see the whole thing, or are forced to drive around it.The first two photos just give the tiniest sense of what's available at Chittorgarh, while the next three panoramas show Kumbulgarh (our preference), which is in the middle of the mountains between Udaipur and Jodhpur.
The final three photos are of Ranakpur - an AMAZING temple. 1444 unique and intricately carved columns hold up the building. I've done my best to capture it on film, but I'm not sure I've done it justice. Sad thing is, we apparently missed some that may have been nicer!
Those pillars are stunning. Matt you must be in elephant heaven. Any souvenirs purchased yet?
ReplyDeleteYeah, elephant stuff everywhere. One of the main hindu gods has an elephant head (Ganesh), so he's everywhere too. No souvenirs yet - hard to carry, but we're in Pushkar for another day (change of plans) and we'll be doing some shopping tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are simply gorgeous! It looks like you're having the time of your life - and in such an amazingly beautiful place! We can't wait to hear about all your adventures first hand, but until then keep the updates and photos coming :) We miss you both!
