The main temple four-faced temple is in the Jain temple, and this four-armed bull-headed god floating statue has appeared many times, but the name and origin of this god cannot be found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't know if it's a "bull head pong". The stone statues of the main temple on all sides resemble the Hindu Linga and Yoni. There is also a pair of divine footprints on the stone plate. The main temple is surrounded by a temple embossed with a swastika on the top of a stone pillar.

A pair of old drums used for sacrifice in the temple of the main temple on all sides. Do you want to see a 100-year-old drum? The drum is made of wood and skin, and it is more resistant to the wear and tear of time than the stone statue, so it is not easy to see the 100-year-old drum. After seeing the main temple, I went to see the branch temple located in the same courtyard.

Compared to the main temple, the branch temple is very small and is also a white marble building. The interior of the building is open to worshippers only, and it is worth seeing the reliefs on the exterior walls. The reliefs of the main temple of the branch temple are mainly in the inner room, and the reliefs of the branch temple are mainly on the outer wall, these reliefs are divided into two layers, and most of them are figure reliefs.

The carving is fine, the characters are vividly shaped, the forms are thousands, and the dynamics are full. The lower relief on the outer wall of the branch temple. At the center of the figure are Jain-worshipped gods, with some reliefs with erotic content. Jainism advocates abstinence, but for some reason there is obvious erotic content in the statues, and the Tianyi sect in the religion also advocates the body.

Upper relief on the outer wall of the branch temple. There are many protruding triangular faces, which are flanked by a group, each with a large statue of a god or a fairy, and some small reliefs of figures and beasts are hidden in the gap between the two groups of stone pillars. Upper relief on the outer wall of the branch temple. It is a group of nude statues. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple.

Some of the gods are monkey faces. Xueluo knows that in Hindu mythology, there is a monkey country, and there is a monkey named Hanuman, who is said to be the prototype of the Monkey King, the wife of Sita Rama who helped Rama, the incarnation of the great god Vishnu, to snatch back from the demon king. It is not known if the monkey-faced god in Jainism is similar to that in Hinduism. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple.

It is a group of idols, and the main deity in the middle is a woman. There are several groups of such reliefs with a female figure as the main deity. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple. Another group features a female figure as a relief statue of the main deity. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple. In this group of reliefs, it is the dancing sword girl in the lower left corner that particularly attracts Xueluo's attention, pay attention to the direction of her left toe.

The body is in the opposite direction to the right leg, and what is even stranger is that the head and body are flipped 180 degrees - this is really a veritable "three hanging bends". The feet and head are in the opposite direction of the body - this kind of difficult posture is really not done by ordinary people. This group of relief statues is exquisitely made, the figures are well-proportioned and fluent. If you look closely, there are some interesting details. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple.

The most eye-catching thing about this group of reliefs is the large earrings on the heads of this group of fairies. As you can imagine, the fairies danced with their big earrings flicking around on either side of their heads. There is also a group of monkeys peeping down above. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple. The naked man has a ghost head in his hand. Reliefs on the exterior wall of the branch temple.

The two women were doing acrobatics. One hand can hold the person above, and the strength is not small. After an hour and a half of seeing the Thousand Pillars Temple, take a car at 1 p.m. to continue to the next destination, the Gombor Gargar Fort. The distance between the two places is about 34 kilometers and the journey takes 1 hour.

It is located about 82 kilometers north of Udaipur on the summit of Mount Kunbagh at an altitude of 1,100 meters. It is 34 kilometers away from the Thousand Pillars Temple in the west. It was built in the 15th century by the capital of the Mewar dynasty, a branch of the Rajputs of Rajasthan, who reigned in Udaipur in 1433~1468.

It was the most important citadel of the Mewar dynasty after Gidolgarh and the old capital city of Udaipur. The thick walls stretch for 36 kilometers and contain palaces, gardens, wells, forts, 360 temples, many palaces, gardens, and 700 forts. Whenever the rulers of Mewar were in danger, they would hide in this remote place.

Take refuge in a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In hundreds of years, it was conquered only once by the combined armies of Marwar and Mughal Akbar the Great. There are 360 temples and 300 shrines built in the castle, and it is said that at the beginning of the construction of the castle, every time there was a difficulty, a temple would be built and sacrificed with living people to ask for the help of the gods.

At the gate of the castle there is an inscription dedicated to this. It has been inscribed on the World Heritage List by the United Nations. Tickets: 150 At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu arrived at the gate of the castle. As soon as I got out of the car, I was overwhelmed by the tall and thick city walls and bulging battlements.

The white cottage on the left is the ticket office. The tall doorway in the middle is the entrance to the castle. The beer-bellied battlements are a feature of this ancient castle, with round, bulging footbases that increase the difficulty and time it takes for attackers to climb, a castle that is not seen anywhere else.

The main attraction of this castle is the city walls, not the empty royal palace inside. In India, there are many castles with rare characteristics. Here is the entrance to the castle. The doorway is high and easy for elephants to get in and out. Once you enter the castle gate, you can see the 600-year-old castle of Gomborgalgar high up in the upper left.

From this angle, you can clearly see the panoramic view of the castle palace. The winding, cascading city walls, the staggered heights and varied shapes of the buildings, highlight the majestic appearance of this castle. The local men who came to worship the temple were dressed plainly. The local women who come to the temple are dressed in bright colors, which is a great contrast to the color of the men's clothing.

The walls of Gomborgar are undoubtedly very remarkable, strong, tall, spacious and beautiful. The winding city wall is like a winding path. Plum-shaped battlements. The bulky walls can also be made so delicately. The sun shines on the battlements, and there are bursts of birds chirping nearby, which is a good place to lean against the wind, and you can hear the echo of the hollow valley.

Curved battlements. The battlements at the upper end of this battlement are white on the front and black on the side, and from a distance, it looks a bit like a domestic emblem-style building. The battlements here have changed again, and the double-layer lookout hole is estimated to be the upper hole lookout, and the lower hole is to shoot arrows or guns. There are many long-tailed black langurs on the city wall, jumping around on the battlements, and they are not harassing.

The monkey stood on the battlement and watched the snow fall, probably to see if the snow fell to give it anything to eat. The monkey sat on the city wall full of thoughts. Its tail is so long. A small brown bird stood on the rampart, chirping twice from time to time. The little bird landed very close to the snowfall, and stopped there to watch the snow fall, showing no signs of panic.

The birds here are largely undisturbed by humans, so they are not too afraid of people. This is the entrance to the palace, flanked by a small Hindu temple. The gate on the half-slope. The gate is much more rudimentary than the one seen in Mehrangal Castle in Jodhpur, but it also seems a bit casual. Through the gates, you can see the jagged battlements of the city wall, which have been painted gold by the setting sun.

Looking up, the tall enemy tower. It is covered with vigilant lookout holes. Looking down, there is a small altar with a worship image painted bright orange by the devotees. In the eyes of the snowfall, a little shocking feeling. Observation deck in the middle of the mountain. Standing on it, you can see the surrounding scenery. On the high slope in front is the entrance to the royal palace.

From here, you can see that the walls of the palace on the high ground have been repaired. The palace is elaborately built of red sandstone and white marble, while the walls of the palace here are made of ordinary stones, which is more than a grade or two off. This shows the difference in the economic power of the two small kingdoms, both of which belonged to Rajput but had different branches.

However, this royal palace is equivalent to a palace. The official capital of the Mevar dynasty ended up in Udaipur, more than 80 kilometers away. Entrance to the palace. The wooden door at the entrance to the palace is also equipped with iron thatched tips to protect against elephant impact. Simple palace building, about five or six hundred years old. After the Mewar kings fell to Udaipur, it was gradually abandoned.

All the contents were removed, leaving only an empty shell in disrepair, in contrast to the imposing city walls outside. Therefore, the focus of coming here is to see the scenery of the city walls, not the palace. As for the other ancient castles in Rajasthan, the focus of the visit is mostly on the royal palace itself. The towers of the royal palace. The ruins of the royal palace.

Simple two-storey building with empty inside. The high palace façade with few and small windows resembles a prison. The entrance to the inner courtyard of the palace is enclosed by a battlement on the roof platform of the palace. Stand on the roof of the building and look down on the inner courtyard and buildings of the palace. The courtyard is empty, there are very few tourists who come to visit, there are high walls on all sides, and there are no windows.

It's like a place in a prison where prisoners let off. There is an open cloister on the first floor, and there are some elephant murals in the cloister, and nothing else. Elephant mural in the cloister on the first floor. Elephant mural in the cloister on the first floor. Rush to the fancy alcove window of the inner courtyard. It's a bit shaped, but it's so simply decorated that it reminds the snowfall of the fine stonework that surrounds every window in the palace of Jodhpur Melangal.

The contrast is too great. The windows facing the outside of the palace offer a view of the terrain around the castle, and there is nothing to see except the walls and the rolling hills. A hat pavilion on the roof. Notice that there is no relief decoration on the wall. The small spire on the gazebo is barely a highlight.

Round spire with a fence on the edge of the wall. There is really nothing to see in the palace, and the teammates are not like Xueluo who likes to capture something with the camera, and they have already sat in the courtyard to entertain the tired legs and feet. A group of female students came here to visit under the guidance of a teacher, who may be from Udaipur. Looking at the clothes, some of them should come from Muslim families.

The children are supposed to come from Hindu families. After filming, I dialed it and changed it. Indians love to put together a shot, as if their image is ingested into the camera, it will bring them good luck. A tourist from an unknown country sat there quietly and rested alone. A lovely camel walked past with a heavy load and a big foot in front of it.

The castle is enclosed by a large area and it is said that there used to be 360 temples of different styles scattered around the hills, but now there are not so many to be seen. Some temples still have devotees who come to worship. The temple complex inside the castle and the residents who guard the castle. This group of Hindu temples is one of the larger ones.

The Hindu temple located near the entrance of the castle is quite good when viewed from below. A Shiva temple with many pillars in Hinduism. The shape is a little weird, I have never seen this kind of Shiva temple before, a bit like an ancient temple in the West. This Shiva temple has many stone pillars, and Xueluo calls it a miniature version of the "Temple of Artes".

The stone statue of the reclining cow in front of this temple is the symbol of the Shiva temple as the sacred cow is Shiva's mount. A temple located on a hill. A woman in red is on her way to worship another Shiva temple. The relief above the small Hindu temple, one can tell by looking at the degree of abrasion that the temple was built a long, long time.

When I walked into this small temple, I saw that the sacred object enshrined in it was Lin Jia, so Xueluo thought that this temple was used for fertility at that time. The woman in red who had just come in to worship must have come for this purpose. After leaving, continue to the airport to Udaipur, where you will stay today, and an important destination of your trip to India.

It is more than 80 kilometers from Udaipur and takes nearly two hours by car. In the evening, when it was just dark, the snow fell and Liu Jingshu's car drove into Udaipur. Located in the southern part of Rajasthan, India, on the shores of the beautiful Lake Pichola and surrounded by wooded hills, Udaipur is a beautiful city with mountains and rivers.

Udaipur was founded in 1568 by Udaisingh II, a small kingdom of the Rajput people, and became the capital of the Mewar dynasty until India's independence. Previously, Mewar's capital was in Gidolgarh to the east, after being breached for the last time by the forces of the Mughal emperor Akbar the Great.

Moved to Udaipur. In keeping with the colours of the white marble buildings of the Mewar Palace, many of the city's buildings are decorated with white, giving Udaipur the romantic nickname "White City". Today's Udaipur is Rajasthan's "most romantic city" with its royal palaces, lakeside gardens, temples, traditional buildings and beautiful lake views.

To be one of India's most attractive tourist cities. Udaipur Udaipur Attractions Distribution Map Copyright Udaipur Kairun Hotel At half past six in the afternoon, a chartered car from Jodhpur took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to the neighborhood near the royal palace in Udaipur. Due to the abundance of time in Udaipur and the fact that it is a tourist city, it is easy to find accommodation, so I did not book a place to stay.

I put the car away and walked a short distance along a main street by the lake to see this small hotel. Standard room 1500, the conditions are average, the room is quite large, the sanitary conditions and hot water are OK, the street is a little noisy, and the roof restaurant has a good view. Everyone felt a little tired and didn't want to go any further, so they stayed here. Would have liked to stay one night first.
