Shree Ghela Somnath Mahadev Mandir

Sacred & Religious Sites
Shree Ghela Somnath Mahadev Mandir is a less popular but historically significant temple in Gujarat. It holds the Shiva Linga that was brought here from Somnath during an attack by Ghori, with Minaldevi and Ghelo Vanoyo risking their lives to protect it. The temple is about 40 minutes away from Gadhada and offers food, stay facilities, and parking for devotees.
Which we know by the name of Mahadev, that is Bholiyanath, that is Ghela Somnath Mahadev, which is located in Jasdan taluka. This is the Shankar Bhagwan temple, which we know by the name of Ghela Somnath. On the circumambulation path of Ghela Somnath temple, the names of the twelve Jyotirlingas and information about them are given. When you enter the temple, a garden has also been made on its left side in the name of the martyred soldier. What else can I say where there is real Somnath Mahadev and also Ghela Somnath, to whom you can get whatever you wish for.A photo of the history of Ghela Somnath has also been added to the review.

I visited Shree Ghela Somnath Temple early in the morning. The place was very peaceful and calm. The sound of sparrows in the morning made the experience even more beautiful. The temple is clean and surrounded by nature. It feels very spiritual and relaxing. The idol of Lord Shiva is very powerful and gives a feeling of peace and energy

Har Har Mahadev! I recently visited Ghela Somnath Mahadev Temple in Ghela Somnath and I must say, it was a truly divine and peaceful experience. As soon as I entered the temple, I was struck by the beautiful garden and fountain that welcoming every bhakt. The temple itself was a marvel of architecture and design, with intricate carvings and a calming atmosphere. As I sat in the serene environment of the temple, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. It was easy to forget all my worries and immerse myself in the devotional vibe of the temple. The darshan of Mahadev was truly breathtaking, and I left the temple feeling renewed and spiritually uplifted. Ghela Somnath Mahadev Temple to anyone looking for a peaceful and divine experience. The beautiful nature, serene environment, and attention to detail all make for a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

One of the best place in Morbi to hangout. I would strongly suggest to visit this place when you are in the city. There is a safe and enough place for parking.
Sunny V — Google review
As one enters Morbi swaying pylons of the suspension bridge and the beatific riverfront is a nostalgic reminder of Victorian London. Located 64 km from Rajkot is the town of Morbi with its quaint cobbled alleyways and buildings reminiscent of 19th century Europe. Morbi’s former ruler Sir Waghji inspired by Colonial influences designed a technologically planned and versatile city. The visitor is welcomed into the city through a grand suspension bridge, an artistic and technological marvel of that period. European influence in town planning further contributed to a central square known as the Green Chowk, approachable by three gates each designed in its own inimitable style incorporating both Rajput and Italian elements.

Modhera Sun Temple

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
The Modhera Sun Temple, built in 1027 by Bhimdev of the Solanki dynasty, is a monumental Hindu temple known for its intricate sculptures and sacred reservoir. Similar to the famous Sun Temple at Konark, it was designed for the dawn sun to shine on the image of Surya during the equinox. The temple complex also features Surya Kund, a remarkable step-well with over 100 shrines.
The Modhera Sun Temple in Gujarat is an architectural masterpiece that transports you back to the grandeur of the 11th century. Built by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty, this temple is dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, and stands as a stunning example of India’s rich heritage and advanced craftsmanship. The moment you enter, the sight of the magnificent stepwell (Surya Kund) instantly captivates you. The symmetrical steps, intricately carved shrines, and reflections of the temple in the water create a truly divine atmosphere. As you move towards the main temple complex, the carvings on the walls come alive with stories from Hindu mythology—every sculpture has a tale to tell, depicting gods, celestial beings, and scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The temple’s design is ingeniously aligned with the solar movement—during equinoxes, the first rays of the sun illuminate the sanctum, symbolizing divine energy. Even though the idol no longer remains, the spiritual essence of the place is palpable. The Archaeological Survey of India has done an excellent job in maintaining the site. The lawns are well-kept, signage is clear, and the surroundings are peaceful. The nearby museum offers deeper insights into the temple’s history and Solanki architecture. Modhera is a must-visit for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone seeking serenity beyond the usual tourist circuits. Visit early in the morning or during sunset for the most enchanting views. Tip: Don’t miss the evening light and sound show—it beautifully brings the temple’s history to life.

An amazing monument built before 1000 years is a must visit place for everyone. This temple is a perfect example of extreme engineering and technology before 1k years. The entire campus kept neat and clean. The whole structure was built on sand stones and is located right on the tropic of cancer. Do understand the history of this temple with the help of registerd guide which was available there and will charge 500 Rs per group which is quite reasonable. Overall a must must visit place for every Indian.

My recent visit to the Modhera Sun Temple in Gujarat was nothing short of mesmerizing — a journey through time and artistry. Dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, this 11th-century masterpiece was built by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty and stands as a testament to India’s architectural brilliance. As I walked through the temple complex, the symmetry of the grand Surya Kund (stepwell), the intricate carvings on every pillar and wall, and the play of sunlight illuminating the sanctum left me in awe. The temple, aligned perfectly so that the first rays of the sun touch the idol of Surya during equinoxes, reflects the advanced astronomical understanding of that era. Even without the deity now, the spiritual energy of the place is palpable. Surrounded by serene landscapes and the gentle hum of history, Modhera Sun Temple is not just a monument — it’s a poetic fusion of science, devotion, and stone craftsmanship that every traveller should experience. Unfortunately, I could not wait for the late evening light-and-sound show as there was just too much time to wait, too much crowd and too much distance to cover back to Ahmedabad. Also, the weather was super hot! But the show, shot by a tourist is available on YouTube. It is one of the best shows at heritage sites. So, if you plan to visit Modhera, it will be beneficial to visit it around 5 pm giving you enough time to see the temple till the 7pm show. The Sarkari Archaeological Museum here is super sad though!
Pushkar L — Google review
A truly mesmerizing and peaceful place to visit! The temple stands as a reminder of how advanced and artistic our ancestors were. The carvings are detailed, every pillar and wall tells a story — it’s hard to believe something built over 1,000 years ago can still look this stunning 🤯. The highlight here is the Surya Kund (stepwell) 💧— beautifully designed with hundreds of small shrines all around. The reflection of the temple in the water during sunrise or sunset looks magical 🌅. You can sit near the steps and just soak in the calmness; it feels timeless. The whole area is clean and well maintained 🌿, with greenery around and benches to rest. It’s quiet, peaceful, and perfect for photography 📸 or just a relaxing walk. 🚗 Parking is available nearby, and basic facilities like restrooms and drinking water are there, though could be improved a bit. ⭐ Overall, an amazing heritage site that makes you proud of Indian architecture and culture. A must-visit spot if you’re anywhere near Mehsana or Ahmedabad.

The Sun Temple at Modhera is truly one of Gujarat’s most breathtaking heritage sites. The stunning stepped tank and the incredibly detailed stone carvings create an atmosphere that feels like stepping into history. The architecture is precise, graceful, and filled with artistic stories that show the brilliance of ancient craftsmanship. The temple complex has a peaceful and calming vibe, with plenty of open space to walk around and admire its beauty from different angles. The sunlight beautifully highlights the carvings throughout the day, especially during early morning or late evening, making it a dream spot for photography and quiet reflection. Overall, the Sun Temple stands as a proud symbol of our culture and creativity. The area is well-maintained, staff members are polite, and the whole experience inspires curiosity and admiration for India’s rich past. A perfect place for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys serene and meaningful places!

After the Ranaki Vav in Patan, if you want to see another amazing piece of Solanki architecture, then the Modhera Sun Temple near Mehsana is a must-visit place. Built by King Bhimdev I in the 11th century, this temple is dedicated to Surya Narayana and you will be mesmerized by its carvings. ​✨ Temple Features: ​Stunning Architecture: The temple is divided into three main parts: the magnificent Surya Kund (Ramkund) with 108 deris, the 52-pillared Sabha Mandap and the main Sanctum. ​Historical Carvings: The exquisite carvings of Ramayana-Mahabharata episodes, gods and goddesses on the walls of this temple give it the glory of being the 'Khajuraho of Gujarat'. Nearby Attractions: The Modheshwari Mata Temple, located near the Sun Temple, is also worth a visit. Special Guide for Tourists: This temple is located in the inner part of Modhera village. Public transport may charge a higher fare to reach here. Kind Request: To avoid this hassle, tourists are requested to bring their own personal vehicle, so that the visit is easy and economically convenient. If you use public transport, then get the exact information about the correct fare from the locals before deciding on the fare. Conclusion: A wonderful blend of history, sculpture and religious faith is the Modhera Sun Temple. This is a place that showcases the beauty and culture of Gujarat.

A stunning 11th-century Sun Temple built during the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty. Located about 100 km from Ahmedabad (approx. 2-hour drive), it's a beautifully preserved heritage site. Timings: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Tickets: Available at the entrance (nominal fee, cash preferred). The Surya Kund, intricate carvings, and temple layout are mesmerizing-especially during rains when the golden sandstone shines brilliantly. Tip: Visit early morning or late afternoon for the best experience. Comfortable shoes and water recommended.

The history of the temple is beautiful, and it is well maintained also just bcoz of birds the place is little stinking. Another thing do not take guide, that's waste of money, what you need to do is when you are at temple just open your Wikipedia, it has each and every information. And the guides are also speaking work to work from there only.

Colorful water-based theme park with twisting slides, a lazy river & a splash pool for young kids.
Had an absolutely amazing time at Bliss Water Park! The rides were thrilling, the atmosphere was lively, and it was a perfect day out with friends and family. Everything was well-maintained, safe, and super fun. Great experience overall — highly recommend for anyone looking for a day full of excitement and memories!
Pratik R — Google review
I recently visited Bliss Water Park in Mehsana, and it was a day filled with both excitement and disappointment. The park itself is well-maintained and offers a good variety of rides. The wave pool is one of the major highlights — it’s clean, spacious, and gives you the real thrill of ocean waves. Another attraction that stood out was the Crazy River ride, which was total fun and perfect for families and friends looking for an exciting splash. However, my experience was ruined by the food. I had a meal from one of their food stalls, and it was a big letdown. The quality and hygiene seemed questionable. Unfortunately, just a few hours after eating, I started feeling uneasy and later suffered from food poisoning, which spoiled the rest of my trip and the following day as well. While the rides and water attractions are top-notch and worth the visit, the management seriously needs to improve the food quality and hygiene standards. I would recommend bringing your own food if possible or eating outside the park. Overall, Bliss Water Park is great for fun and adventure but fails when it comes to food safety.
Akash C — Google review
The park can easily house 2500 to 3000 people. We went there on a day which was a public holiday, but since there was long weekend, the number of people rhat arrived was less. It is a good water park with around 9-10 rides. Crazy river was one of the best rides. They have a separate children's area. Parking is free. We went there when there was an offer and got food inclusive at 900/-. 200/- was locker charge. 30/- was the charge of 1 photo(soft copy). It has around 9 to 10 big rides. You can easily do all of them without the express ticket. They allow it regular people and one express person. 8:1 ratio. So no real use of express ticket. Also in express ticket only a few Tower rides and crazy river is covered. Children will love the experience.
Pratik P — Google review
Had a fantastic time at the water park! The ticket price was totally worth it, especially with lunch included — the food was delicious, fresh, and way better than expected. What truly impressed me was their focus on safety and comfort. The security guards were actively monitoring the gents-only area, ensuring that families could enjoy the pool without any discomfort. There was a well-managed separation between the family zone and the gents’ section, all within the same pool, which made it comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend this place for a fun, safe, and well-organized day out with family! 🌊🍽️👍

Nice water activities but there are no lift to climb the high towers that makes you tired soon. Overall great water park in terms of safety, security and enjoyment. Too much rush on weekends so it’s better if u can visit on weekdays. Including food is also of good quality and great taste. We were unable to do all the rides due to rush and towers without lift to climb and timings of river is also very tough to catch, so if you wish to go through the river you need to plan accordingly and wait for some time.
Pawan K — Google review
Better experience than other waterpark, specially food is too good and free cool drinking water arrangements everywhere in water park. Best place to get best experience for rides and swimming. Credit goes to good management. Everything is best, one business idea is there of photography in wave pool. Few photographer take photos in camera and ask to take photos from studio which charged INR 30 per photos and it's mandatory to take all photos which is drawback with loosing one star, there should be option to choose photos from taken photos and pay for only choosen photos, everything else is best. 👌🏻

Bliss Aqua Waterpark is a great stop if you're heading towards Ahmedabad from Jodhpur it’s located around 10 km before Mehsana city, right off the highway. Just note that it’s on the opposite side, so you’ll need to take a U-turn about 200 meters ahead. The park has free parking, but the parking area is a bit far (around 200 meters from the entrance), so it’s better to drop your family at the gate first and then park the car. Entry opens at 10 AM. Tickets are available right at the main gate ₹899 for adults and ₹600 for kids below 4 feet. The best part? All tickets include coupons for a free unlimited lunch buffet. The food was decent we had puri, chana masala, rice, dal, and aamras. Just a heads-up, the dal is quite sweet (classic Gujarat style), but everything was fresh and filling. Now coming to the main attraction the rides. There are tons of options for both kids and adults. Many of the adult slides are designed for 2 people, a few for 3–4 people, and some are for solo riders. I’d definitely recommend visiting in a group of at least 2 to make the most of the multi-person slides. The slides are thrilling and on par with what you'd expect in big parks like Imagica. The wave pool is also quite good and adds to the fun.

Patan Patola Heritage is a museum run by the Salvi family, known for their expertise in double-ikat weaving since the 11th century. Visitors can witness the intricate process of Patola silk weaving and compare it with single-ikat textiles from around the world. The museum showcases a masterpiece elephant-motif sari and provides insights into the history of this craft and the family's journey from Maharashtra to Gujarat.
Visiting Patan Patola Heritage was a truly memorable experience. I had been wanting to visit for many years, and finally managed to make it this time. It was amazing to witness how beautifully they are preserving this ancient art form with such dedication and love. The team explained every detail patiently — from the weaving process to the cultural significance behind it. I left with deep admiration for their work, feeling grateful and proud to be from Gujarat, India. 🇮🇳

ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதுவதற்கு மன்னிக்கவும். Do Not Travel to Gujarat from March to July, the heat is very very very High. We were lucky enough to see this wonderful museum, in Patan, where they tell the history and how the world famous patola sari's are made. There is a small entrance fee, and they take you through each and every process of how the wonderful, famous and costly patola saris are made. Once you finish going around, one can understand how much effort goes into making one patola saree and how time consuming it is to make one patola saree. The only negative we found was the entire presentation is in Hindi and they didn't allow us to take any photographs inside.

It’s like a small museum. Good to know history of Patan Patola sarees. The design of the saree is put on the threads, vertical and horizontal. As the saree is weaved the design emerges from the thread. Very laborious and time consuming. They also have a piece of malmal, famous fabric that used to be weaved earlier in India. Story that weavers hands were cut so that it cannot be made again. The saree of that can be folded in a matchbox.

### 🧵 Patola House, Patan (English, 70 words) Patola House in Patan is home to the ancient art of Double Ikat Patola weaving, practiced by the Salvi family for generations. Each silk saree takes months to create, with both warp and weft dyed before weaving, ensuring identical design on both sides. Renowned worldwide for its precision and beauty, Patola symbolizes Gujarat’s rich heritage, artistry, and timeless tradition of handloom excellence.

Visited Aug 2022. On my recent trip to Palanpur I visited both the 'motu' and 'nanu' Jain derasars. Both were very nice, have the calm serene vibe typical of Jain mandirs. But somehow I preferred the 'nanu' derasar. It has a certain charm that this, the larger one, will never have. See attached pics. Diff to photograph the exterior due to lack of space.

The newly built Dharmshala offers clean and spacious rooms for rent at reasonable prices, while the Bhojanshala serves delicious and hygienic food.

Kumbhariya Jain Temple is one of the hidden gems of Gujarat — a place where spirituality, history, and architecture come together beautifully. Located about 2–3 km from Ambaji Temple, this ancient Jain pilgrimage site is peaceful, divine, and artistically breathtaking. The temple complex consists of five beautifully carved temples, each dedicated to a different Jain Tirthankara. The main temple is devoted to Lord Neminath (the 22nd Tirthankara). These temples are believed to be around 900–1000 years old, built during the Solanki era, and they still retain their original charm and intricate craftsmanship. The stone carvings inside and outside each temple are simply mesmerizing. Every wall, dome, and pillar is decorated with detailed sculptures of gods, goddesses, dancers, and floral designs that show the excellence of ancient artisans. The architecture resembles that of the famous Dilwara Temples of Mount Abu, but Kumbhariya has its own unique grace and tranquility. The temple complex is very well maintained — clean pathways, peaceful surroundings, and a pure spiritual atmosphere. It’s less crowded compared to Ambaji, which makes it an ideal place for devotees who want to meditate or spend some quiet time in prayer. The cool breeze and natural beauty around the area add to the divine feeling. There is a dharamshala (guesthouse) nearby for pilgrims and basic facilities like drinking water, restrooms, and shoe stands. Photography is usually allowed in the outer areas but restricted inside the sanctum, so it’s best to check before clicking pictures. Overall, Kumbhariya Jain Temple is not just a religious destination but also an architectural marvel that reflects the glorious heritage of ancient Gujarat. Whether you are spiritual, artistic, or just love peaceful places, this temple is absolutely worth visiting.

A Truly Unforgettable Stay – The Best Hotel Experience in Mount Abu! I recently stayed at this amazing hotel in Mount Abu from 27th to 29th, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The room was spacious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable—a true home away from home. The attention to detail in cleanliness and comfort made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. What truly made my stay special was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly polite, professional, and always ready to help with a warm smile. Whether it was room service, guidance about local attractions, or just casual interaction, they made me feel welcomed and cared for throughout. One of the biggest highlights was the location. The hotel is just a short walk from Nakki Lake, which is the heart of Mount Abu. Not only is it convenient, but the view from my room was absolutely stunning—I could see the lake shimmering in the sunlight and glowing during sunset. The terrace view was equally mesmerizing, offering the perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just soak in the fresh mountain air with a cup of tea. Whether you’re looking to explore, unwind, or just have a peaceful break, this hotel is the perfect choice. My days here were filled with joy, comfort, and unforgettable memories. I’m so glad I chose this place, and I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Mount Abu. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Mount Abu—this is the best hotel near Nakki Lake!

Nakki Lake, nestled in the mountains and surrounded by verdant trees and rock formations, is a serene destination offering activities like boating and picnicking. The comfortably mild temperatures make it perfect for outdoor pursuits such as trekking, sightseeing, and exploring nearby attractions like the Dilwara Temples. March is an ideal time to visit due to fewer crowds and the opportunity to experience local festivals that showcase the region's rich traditions.
Nakki Lake is one of the best places to visit in Mount Abu. It’s super peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The lake itself is really calm, and taking a boat ride on it is such a nice way to relax while enjoying the views of the hills around you. The vibe is really chill—whether you're walking around, sitting by the lake, or just soaking in the scenery, it feels like a perfect getaway. There's also a cool spot nearby called Toad Rock, where you can hike a little and get an awesome view of the lake from above. It does get a bit busy during the tourist season, but it's totally worth it if you're looking for a peaceful spot to unwind. Definitely recommend if you're in Mount Abu!

Nakki Lake is a scenic spot surrounded by a walking trail. From the parking, you need to walk about 200–300 meters to reach the lake, or you can take a horse ride. The place is calm and nice for a stroll, paddle boating, or just sitting on the benches around the lake. There’s also a market nearby, but it’s mostly food stalls and ice cream shops with a few local items. A peaceful place to relax, though not much beyond boating and eating.

Peace and quiet with a general spiritual atmosphere . An intelligent soul will understand what is being explained in a few sentences . The world is in a turmoil and co fusion because of so many types of religions, castes and differences . Many avatars have come and gone but the situation remains the same . The under current here is to understand but actually who is listening . I would say ‘ Money makes the mare move ‘ . Without that being recognised and above all being heard is impossible . The building definitely needs repair and painting . Enjoyed an hour of spiritual understanding .

I also liked their newly constructed mansarovar . It's so beautiful to see and it's so big that you would need 1 to 2 days for seeing only 50%of it. Sister shivani didi, usha didi are my favourite didis ❤️

I recently visited here and what to say. I can't express my feelings in words. It was literally the best travel of my life, I felt peace and serenity. Everything was so pure, the food was so light that I had eaten more than my capacity, easy to digest and tasty food. Absolutely loved the experience. I am following Brahmakumaris from past few years, but got lucky to visit the headquarters for the first time. Everyone should visit here for once in their lifetime. At the end, I would say that 'Spirituality is the key to success'

Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University is a peace paradise. Every traveller to Mount Abu must visit this place. On entering the premises especially during early morning, mind gets peace and heart is filled with joy. This is a serene place where one can feel peace, love and joy during interaction with its inmates. Brahma Kumaris have three distinctly located establishments, one at Pandav Bhawan, second is at Gyan Sarovar and third is at Shantivan. Pandav Bhavan & Gyan Sarovar are at Mount Abu & Shantivan is at Abu road. Everyone should spend some time at these three places for a peaceful trip. This is a very good place to visit with your family and friends. It is good for those who want to find knowledge about who am I? Who is God? the world cycle etc. If you need positive direction to move ahead in the life you should visit here.

Delwara Temple is a complex of elaborately carved temples dating back to the 11th century and dedicated to five tirthankaras. The exquisite white marble structures feature intricate jali stonework, delicate filigree work, and scenes from Jain scriptures. The main Vimalshah temple alone required 1400 artisans for its construction. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior showcases a unique blend of ancient Indian architecture and craftsmanship.
Dilwara Jain Temples – A Marble Symphony in Mount Abu High in the Aravallis, in Mount Abu’s embrace, Stands a temple of peace, a divine, sacred place. The Dilwara Temples, serene and sublime, Echo tales of devotion, untouched by time. Carved from marble, pure and white, Each sculpture a masterpiece, glowing in light. From ceiling to pillar, the details astound, In every curve, divinity is found. Built between the 11th and 13th years, They stand unshaken through time and tears. Vimal Vasahi, in honor of Adinath, Welcomes all souls on their spiritual path. The silence here speaks more than words, As chants and prayers gently stir. No cameras, just memories kept, In hearts of those who’ve bowed and wept. More than a temple, it’s a timeless ode— To art, to faith, on a quiet hill road. A visit here calms, inspires, and thrills— A sacred jewel in the Rajasthani hills.

Delwara Jain Temple – Mount Abu Delwara Jain Temple is one of the main attractions in Mount Abu. As soon as you enter, you feel peaceful and calm. The white marble work inside is really detailed and clean — every pillar and wall has fine carvings that catch your attention. The temple is well-maintained and very quiet inside. Photography is not allowed, and even mobile phones have to be submitted outside, which actually helps you stay more present and focused. It stays naturally cool inside, and the atmosphere feels very calm and spiritual. You need to remove your shoes outside before entering, so be prepared for that too. Rating: 4/5 Time spent: Around 30–40 minutes Best for: Families, art lovers, or anyone looking for peace and a break from the crowd.

Dilwara Temple is an ancient Jain temple, famous for its stunning marble carvings and peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the most important places of worship for the Jain community. Phones, cameras, smartwatches, and food are not allowed inside, which helps keep the sanctity intact. Entry timings are different—Jains can enter from 7 AM, while visitors can enter between 12 PM and 5 PM. A must-visit in Mount Abu for both its beauty and spiritual feel.

Dilwara Jain Temple, Mount Abu Dilwara Jain Temple is one of the finest examples of ancient Indian craftsmanship and devotion. Built between the 11th and 13th century by the Chalukya dynasty, the temple is world-famous for its marble carvings, which look more like lacework than stone. Every pillar, arch and ceiling reflects unmatched detailing and dedication. The temple complex is situated on a mountain bed, offering a picturesque view of Mount Abu with a serene, spiritual ambience. The calm surroundings add to its divinity and make the visit truly blissful. During my visit, I had a brief exchange with a local store owner outside the premises and later offered prayers at the small Ganesh temple located near the entrance. It felt humble and peaceful. Photography and mobiles are officially not allowed inside, but I managed to carry mine — Om Shanti. A visit to Dilwara Temple is not just a tour of architecture, but a quiet spiritual experience wrapped in marvellous artistry.

Oh my God, what an amazing experience. You have to see it to believe it. Step into a world carved from pure white marble — the Dilwara Jain Temples near Mount Abu. Every pillar, dome, and arch tells a story of devotion and divine artistry from the 11th century. Serene, sacred, and stunningly detailed, this hidden gem in the Aravalli hills is where spiritual grace meets timeless craftsmanship — a masterpiece that truly feels sculpted by faith. 1. The Dilwara Temples are a group of five marble temples built between the 11th and 13th centuries, dedicated to various Jain Tirthankaras. 2. They are world-renowned for their extraordinary marble craftsmanship — often said to be more intricate than even the Taj Mahal. 3. The Vimal Vasahi Temple, dedicated to Lord Adinath, is the oldest and most magnificent among the five. 4. The Ranakpur-like detailed carvings on ceilings, doorways, pillars, and domes depict scenes from Jain mythology and everyday life. 5. The Ranga Mandap (central dome) features beautifully carved figures of gods, goddesses, and dancers in perfect symmetry. 6. Every inch of the temple — from the ceilings to the pillars — displays divine geometry and delicate artistry in white marble. 7. The Luna Vasahi Temple, built by two brothers in honor of Lord Neminath, is famed for its stunning marble canopy and elaborate carvings. 8. Despite their grandeur, the temples maintain a spiritual calm and simplicity, reflecting Jain ideals of purity and devotion. 9. Photography is strictly prohibited inside, to preserve the sanctity and artistry of the temple interiors. 10. Surrounded by the lush Aravalli hills, the temples stand as a timeless example of Jain devotion, architectural mastery, and meditative peace. There is a new RADISSON resort which has come up in Mount Abu and DELWARA temple is just 6 mins away from the resort. We stayed here. ..!

Dilwara Jain Temples are undoubtedly the crown jewel of Mount Abu. The marble carvings are breathtaking, and the craftsmanship from the 11th–13th century truly reflects the height of Jain artistry. Every inch of the temple interiors—from ceilings to pillars—showcases intricate detailing that’s both spiritual and architectural brilliance. However, visiting comes with strict rules that tourists should know beforehand: 🚫 Things to Know Before You Go: Shorts/Half pants are not allowed for anyone over 5 years of age—entry is denied unless you wear full-length clothing. Only Jains are allowed inside the main Garbh Grah (sanctum sanctorum) for puja or darshan; others can only view from outside. Mobile phones and electronics are strictly prohibited and must be submitted at the counter. > A ₹50 fee is charged per family for mobile deposit, which is non-refundable. ✅ Pros: World-class marble carvings and historical Jain art Very calm and spiritual atmosphere Well-maintained despite high footfall ❌ Cons: Strict dress code and religious restrictions may disappoint some tourists No photography allowed inside ₹50 mobile submission fee may feel unnecessary --- 📝 Final Verdict Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The Dilwara Jain Temples are a must-visit for art, architecture, and peace. But make sure you are dressed appropriately, respect the temple rules, and come prepared for a restricted experience if you're not a follower of Jainism. They don't allow phones inside the temple.

Every inch of the marble architecture speaks of devotion and craftsmanship beyond time. The calmness inside transcends words, making it not just a place of worship, but a journey into peace and purity. Truly, a divine marvel that uplifts both the eyes and the soul. 🕊️✨

Sundha Mata temple is a nearly 900-year-old temple of Mother goddess Chamunda situated on a hilltop called Sundha, located at longitude 72.367°E and latitude 24.833°N, in Jalore District of Rajasthan, India. It is 64 km (40 mi) from Mount Abu and 20 km (12 mi) from the town of Bhinmal.[1] Geography At 1,220 m (4,000 ft) height in the Aravalli ranges on Sundha mountain there is a temple of thegoddess Chamunda Devi, worshipped as Sundha Matha by devotees. It is 105 km (65 mi) from district headquarters and 35 km (22 mi) from sub divisional Bhinmal. This place lies in Raniwara tehsil in the mid-east of Malwara to Jaswantpura Road near Dantlawas village. Many devotees from Gujarat and Rajasthan and the rest of India visit it. The environment here is fresh and attractive. The waterfalls flows year-round at the mountain. Many communities of different castes established community centres for devotees, and there are very good facilities to stay at the hilltop at night and worship Chamunda. Architecture Sundha Mata temple is made up of white marble, the pillars reminiscent of the art of Abu's Dilwara temples pillars. An idol of goddess Chamunda stands under the huge stone. Here Chamunda's head is worshipped. It is said that the trunk of mother Chamunda are established in Korta and legs in Sundarla Pal (Jalore). In front of mother Chamunda a BhurBhuva Swaweshwar Shivling is established. In the main temple a duo idol of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesh's idol are considered very old and extinct. History In the temple premises there are three historically significant inscriptions that highlight the history of the region. The temple of Sundhamata was constructed by Dewal Pratiharas with the help of Imperial Chauhans of Jalore. The first inscription is from AD 1262, which describes victory of Chauhans and the downfall of Parmaras. The second inscription is from 1326, and the third one is from 1727. The Sundha inscriptions are of particular importance in historical sense — like the Harishen inscription or Delhi's Mehrauli pillar inscription. Sundha inscriptions throw light on the history of India. In ancient days worship in this temple was done by Nath Yogis. Emperor of the Sirohi state gave land of the "Sonani", "Dedol" and "Sundha ki dhani" villages to one of the Nath Yogi Rabad Nath Ji, who worshiped in Sundha Mata Temple at that time. After the death of one of the Nath yogi Ajay Nath ji, no one was there to do the worship so Ram Nath ji (Aayas of Mengalwa that time) was taken there to take the responsibility. The land of Mengalwa and Chitrodi villages were given to these Nath Yogis in ancient days by king of Jodhpur Maharaja Jaswant Singh. So Nath yogi of Mengalwa were called as "Aayas". After the death of Ram Nath ji, Badri Nath ji, pupil of Ram nath Ji became Aayas at Sundha Mata temple and took the responsibility of worship. He also looked after land of "Sonani", "Dedol" ,"Mengalwa" and "Chitrodi". As the time passed, no one was there to do all the management, so a trust (Sundha Mata Trust) was created to look after temple and manage tourism. Shri Nath Ji Soni Sahib of Jaisalmer, the royal jewellers of the Jaisalmer State was also one of the prominent devotee of Sundhamata, another form of Chamunda Mata in Bhinmal, Jalore. Sundha Mata is the Kuldevi of the Shrimali Brahman Sonar of Lahecha Gotra i.e. Nathani Sonar.

This temple is 900 year old temple located at the top of the mountain sundha that’s why also know as sundha mata temple . It’s in jalore district of Rajasthan. A must visit place for trekking and nature lovers. You can see mountains, waterfalls and many other temples in between the way to the temple . One thing is that u should be aware of monkeys they will try to snatch your things . If u are not able to climb it by mountain so you can also take ropeway to the temple . If u are going by stairs then u will find many local shop to buy things . There will be a little bit crowded at temple . Sunrise and sunset view from the top is the best thing u will ever see . Don’t forget to climb sand dune that are at the back of the temple . From the top of the sand dune you will be able to see view of jungle and temple . I visited this temple in rainy season and on weekday

Beautiful peak, all lush green in monsoon season with many waterfall on the way, to reach there taxi/bike or own vehichle is used. Way is safe not many curve. Few points are there like View point, some wax statue musem/mirror maze/smonath temple with fish pind/one shanti garden nakki lake... Everything is one the way only. On top there is Mandir and mamy shops are there selling toys parasad. Few steps need to be climbed. We didn't got much rush. 1-2 hrs can be spent there to reach it will take 1 hr. I would advise to go and do sit there and feel the peace of peak and mostly people are busy in photography hahaha. Sunset can be viewd on a clear day.

If you ever visit Mount Abu, missing Guru Shikhar would honestly be a huge mistake! It’s the highest point of the Aravalli Range, and trust me, the view from up there is something you won’t forget easily. The drive towards Guru Shikhar is already half the fun — narrow winding roads, cool breeze, and those mountain turns that make you want to stop every few minutes just to click a photo. As you go higher, the air gets fresher and lighter — it actually feels like you’re slowly leaving the chaos of the world behind. Once you reach the top, there’s a short climb of stairs that takes you to the temple of Guru Dattatreya. The vibes there are calm and peaceful — you can literally hear the sound of wind and bells blending together. And when you finally reach the viewpoint — oh my god — the panoramic view of the hills, valleys, and the clouds floating around is just magical. Perfect place to sit quietly or take that one perfect Instagram shot 😄 I’d suggest going early in the morning or around sunset. The light hits the mountains beautifully, and the temperature is just right. Also, don’t forget to grab a cup of hot tea or bhutta (corn) from the small stalls near the parking area — simple but adds to the whole mountain vibe! Overall, Guru Shikhar is not just a tourist spot; it’s a place that makes you pause and breathe. A must-visit for anyone who loves nature, peace, and a bit of adventure. 🌿✨

This is the tallest place in whole Rajasthan and also very beautiful and marvelous place in aravali, I have been visiting this place from last more than 8 years. This place has a different energy which gives you a very interesting experience so I definitely recommend to all of you to visit it once and specially during sunrise or sunset time. I request to all of you to visit this place by two wheeler except some old ages can travel through cars. During holidays, this place situated at the top of the mount abu so due to heavy crowd you might be face heavy traffic due to small roads. Try to carry some garbage bags so this initiatives help to manage wastes and protect our mother nature 🙏.

Undoubtedly best tourist place in whole Rajasthan. It’s is also heights point in that state. True bliss, being in this place itself is a like meditating. Visit this place with your families, friend and colleagues for break from your hectic life and you’ll find yourself refreshed. BE CAREFUL with travelling by vehicle sometimes it can be risk due to fog and it can be too much crowded during weekends.

NOTE: •पार्किंग का पैसा 100/ है (फ्री पार्किंग नोट अवेलेबल) •मोस्ट ऑफ मैगी ओर फल मिलेगा Rating:5/5 stars I recently visited Guru Shikhar in Mount Abu, and it was an unforgettable experience! As the highest peak in the Aravalli Mountains, Guru Shikhar offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. The highlight of my visit was the stunning sunset views from the top. The sky turned pink, orange, and purple, casting a magical glow over the mountains. It was truly a sight to behold! After taking in the views, I headed to the nearby food stalls to try some local cuisine. The vendors offered a variety of delicious options, including traditional Rajasthani dishes like dal bati churma and ghevar. For shopping enthusiasts, Guru Shikhar has plenty of options. I browsed through the local shops and picked up some beautiful handicrafts, including handmade jewelry, textiles, and souvenirs. Photography enthusiasts will love Guru Shikhar, with its stunning vistas and picturesque landscapes. I captured some amazing shots of the sunset, the mountains, and the surrounding landscape. The trek to the top was moderately challenging, but the scenic views and cool breeze made it well worth the effort. The staff and locals were friendly and helpful, providing guidance and support throughout the trek. Overall, my visit to Guru Shikhar was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Mount Abu. *Highlights:* - Breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape - Stunning sunset views from the top - Delicious local cuisine at nearby food stalls - Beautiful handicrafts and souvenirs at local shops - Amazing photography opportunities - Moderately challenging trek with scenic views and cool breeze *Tips:* - Plan your visit during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds - Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for trekking - Bring sunscreen, water, and snacks to keep you energized throughout the trek - Don't miss the stunning sunset views from the top! - Explore the local shops and food stalls to experience the local culture

He bluntly said, ‘If you want to do it, do it. If not, then don’t,’ and then disconnected our call and didn’t pick up again.

A healthy visit.... As there were more then 2000 steps to climb up... It will take 40 min for a healthy and fit person to climb and 20 mins to come down . Initially if you are not a regular adventurer you will find it somehow scary in the beginning.. no people around but as u will reach at the top you will find many people there.... And the most beautiful thing i saw was that there are many mosques and temples together... you will get a complete view of jalore from the topmost point... Unfortunately it is shattered now mostly but if it could have been maintained then it would be as beautiful as the chhitorgarh fort.... It is the centre attraction of jalore,the granite city of india. (Old name - jabalipura) . This for is also called suvarnagiri and was ruled by Gurjar pratiharas in 8,9th century. By paramaras in 10th and in 1181 chauhans . Later allauddin Khilji captured it in 1311. Later the Mughals and restored to marwar in 1704 to independence. Jalore is also called cradle of Marwari house.

Swarngiri fort - pride of Jalore. Located on the hills of Arawali range. I'll not write any history. But will focus on present condition of the fort. To visit the fort, there is a stairway. As fort is on top of the hill, it is difficult to reach there. Fort and gates are in damaged condition. Water scarcity is one of the biggest problem here. On the way to fort there is only one pyau ( प्याऊ - place to drink water) at gate no 2. There are 2 - 3 bavadias, they are also in poor conditions. Now a days people visit the fort just for the religious sentiments as there are some Jain, Hindu and Muslim temple's.

Jalore fort is one of the greatest fort in the history. It is said that this fort gate is never broken by anyone ....in Hindi it is called Abhed Qila....Built at the time of Kanhad dev and also the love story related to Veeram Dev the son of Kanhad dev. But good to go in the rainy season or in the winter.... otherwise the scorching heat of jalore will terrorise you.....

The Ranakpur Jain Temple, located in Udaipur, is a 15th-century white-marble temple with grand columns, halls and cupolas adorned with intricate carvings of deities. The temple boasts stunning architecture and a rich history that makes it a must-visit destination for both tourists and the religiously-inclined. Visitors are allowed to take pictures inside the temple with a ticket purchase.
I recently visited the Ranakpur Jain Temple (Feb25), a place that had been on my bucket list for years — and it exceeded every expectation. This is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking places I have ever experienced in India. The moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of pure artistry and spiritual calm. The temple’s architecture is nothing short of miraculous — 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, each with a unique design. You could spend hours wandering through the halls, admiring the flawless craftsmanship. The delicate detailing on the ceilings, domes, and walls is so intricate that it’s hard to believe it was all created centuries ago without modern tools. What impressed me most was the serenity. Despite the number of visitors, the temple felt peaceful and meditative. Sunlight filtering through the marble lattice work created an almost magical play of light and shadow, enhancing the sense of divine beauty. The audio guide added great value to my visit, offering not only historical insights but also explanations of the carvings and the core principles of Jainism. It made the entire experience even more meaningful. A quick tip — photography is allowed inside with a ticket, and it’s worth every rupee because every corner of this temple feels like a masterpiece. Some sacred areas are photo-restricted, which is understandable and respectful. Ranakpur is slightly off the main tourist trail, but that’s part of its charm. The scenic drive through the Aravalli hills only adds to the experience, and arriving here feels like uncovering a hidden gem. In short, this is not just a temple — it’s a living museum of devotion and artistry, and a must-visit for anyone exploring Rajasthan.

We visited Ranakpur Jain Temple recently, and it’s a stunning place! The intricate marble carvings and grand architecture are breathtaking, with every pillar telling a story. The peaceful vibe inside is perfect for reflection, and the surrounding greenery adds to the serene atmosphere. The priests were kind and shared fascinating details about the temple’s history, making the visit special. There’s a small canteen nearby with tasty, simple snacks we enjoyed. However, we faced an issue when a security lady denied us entry, assuming we were non-Indian just because we weren’t fluent in Hindi. It was frustrating but resolved after explaining. Despite this, Ranakpur’s beauty and spirituality are worth visiting.

Ranakpur Jain Derasar is truly one of the most magnificent temples in India and a must-visit for anyone exploring Rajasthan. Built in the 15th century under the patronage of Dharna Shah, the temple is dedicated to Bhagwan Adinath and stands as one of the finest examples of Jain architecture. The nearest railway station is Falna, about an hour’s drive away, making it quite accessible. The temple is famous for its 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, each one unique — no two are the same. Photography inside the temple is allowed with a ₹100 ticket, and if you prefer not to carry your phone, there’s a locker facility for ₹10. However, I highly recommend carrying at least one phone or camera — the carvings and architecture are absolutely worth capturing. Women are required to cover their heads with a dupatta before entering; if you forget to bring one, the temple provides it, which is a thoughtful gesture. Most visitors only explore the main derasar, but make sure to wander around the entire complex — that’s where the true charm lies. There are also a few smaller derasars within the premises, and right outside, you’ll find the beautiful Sun Temple, which is worth a quick visit. The Bhojanshala serves simple yet delicious satvik food for around ₹100 per person, and it’s one of the best meals you’ll find. For those planning to stay overnight, the Dharamshala offers neat and clean rooms at about ₹500 per night, making it a great budget-friendly option. Overall, Ranakpur Jain Derasar offers peace, beauty, and spiritual grace — a perfect blend of devotion and artistry. A definite must-visit if you’re in Rajasthan!

Ranakpur Temple is an architectural gem tucked away in the Aravalli hills, surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views. Known for its spectacular marble work, it’s one of the most impressive heritage structures in Rajasthan and a must-visit for anyone interested in art, architecture, or history. The temple complex features over 1,400 intricately carved marble pillars, and remarkably, no two are the same. The attention to detail across the ceilings, domes, and corridors is simply incredible. Natural light filters in through the carved stone latticework, adding to the beauty and calm of the space. The layout is vast, with multiple interconnected halls, courtyards, and stairways — you can easily spend a few hours just soaking it all in. Do note that photography is only allowed after 12 PM, and the same applies to audio guides. Before noon, visitors are required to submit their mobile phones at the entry point. This is strictly enforced, so plan your visit accordingly. There is a small entry fee for tourists and an additional fee for photography. The temple also has a canteen offering simple vegetarian meals and refreshments. Parking is available, and the road leading to the site is scenic but slightly narrow and winding. Plan your visit after 12 PM if you want to take photos or use the audio guide. Avoid peak hours if you want a quieter experience. The temple complex is expansive — take your time to explore and look closely at the detailing.

Ranakpur Jain Temple is a hidden gem that feels like stepping into a stone‑carved prayer hall. Set against the rugged hills of Rajasthan’s Pali district, the white marble complex sprawls over 48,000 sq ft and boasts 1,444 exquisitely detailed pillars—each one a unique lattice of lotus‑petal , elephants. The beautiful carvings, illuminated by the sun, create a play of light and shadow that feels almost surreal. A short walk around the temple grounds offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills, making it a perfect spot for both spiritual reflection and photo‑ops. In short, Ranakpur is a masterpiece of devotion and craftsmanship.

🌿 Ranakpur Jain Temple — A Marble Miracle in the Aravalli Hills Hidden amidst the quiet valleys between Udaipur and Mount Abu, the Ranakpur Jain Temple stands as one of India’s greatest testaments to devotion and craftsmanship. This 15th-century masterpiece, dedicated to Lord Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara, is not just a temple — it’s a living work of art that blurs the line between the divine and the earthly. ✨ A Timeless Story of Faith and Artistry The story of Ranakpur Temple dates back to the 15th century, when a Jain businessman named Dharna Shah had a divine vision of a celestial chariot. Moved by his dream, he decided to create a temple that mirrored this heavenly vision on earth. With the support of Rana Kumbha, the ruler of Mewar (from whom the place derives its name), construction began. It took nearly 50 years and the labor of countless artisans to bring this vision to life. 🏛️ A Marvel of Marble and Light At first glance, Ranakpur looks less like a temple and more like a delicate sculpture that somehow expanded into a vast complex. The temple covers an area of 48,000 square feet, built entirely from gleaming white marble that changes color with the light of the day — from creamy gold at sunrise to soft ivory by sunset. The interior is a labyrinth of 1,444 marble pillars, each carved uniquely — no two are alike. Some bear intricate floral patterns, while others depict gods, dancers, and mythical figures. The detailing is so precise that even after five centuries, the carvings look as fresh as if chiseled yesterday. Stand in the main assembly hall, and you’ll notice something fascinating — no matter where you stand, the pillars never block your view of the main deity. It’s a subtle architectural marvel that reflects both mathematical genius and spiritual intent. Look up, and the ceiling seems alive — layered with concentric rings of lotus motifs, geometric designs, and figures so finely carved that they seem to float in marble. The light filtering through lattice windows adds a dreamlike aura to the hall, creating an atmosphere of tranquil divinity. ⸻ The temple follows the Jain principles of non-violence, purity, and peace, and visitors are gently reminded to maintain silence and remove their shoes before entering. Photography inside the temple is restricted — not just to protect the artwork but to encourage visitors to truly see with their eyes and hearts, not just their cameras. There’s a stillness here that makes time feel irrelevant. For many, Ranakpur is not just a monument; it’s a spiritual experience — a reminder of the divine potential in human creativity. ⸻ 📍 Exploring the Complex The main Chaumukha Temple is accompanied by smaller temples dedicated to Parshvanath, Neminath, and Surya (the Sun God). The Surya Temple, with its ornate carvings of the sun god riding his chariot, is particularly striking. Don’t miss the detailed carvings on the outer walls, which depict celestial beings, elephants, and mythical scenes — each corner of the temple rewards patient eyes. Spend time wandering slowly; the more you look, the more beauty reveals itself. ⸻ 🕰️ Best Time to Visit Ranakpur The best time to visit Ranakpur is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 25°C. The cool winter months allow you to explore comfortably and truly appreciate the marble’s glow under soft sunlight. Avoid the summer months (April–June), when the heat can be harsh, though mornings and evenings still retain some charm. Monsoon (July–September) paints the Aravallis lush green, making the journey to Ranakpur exceptionally scenic — a photographer’s delight. Temple timings: • Open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily. Pay fees, take your mobile for photography however large professional cameras have got some restrictions. Lockers available for your personal belongings.

Must place to visit for all Jain pilgrims. Food serve in Dharmshala was excellent. Nice example of excellent art & craft. Very positive vibes after entering.

This temple is really the highlight of the region. It’s a true hidden gem that photos cannot capture—the beauty and magnificence of the place go far beyond images. The energy is very intense; it took us a while to settle in and vibrate in its frequency. Please try to spend a long time here, at least a few hours—our visit was very short, and we somehow actually regret staying so little. This place is a buffer zone between the physical and the spectral realms, a true masterpiece and a sacred place in every sense.

Kumbhalgarh Fort, a 15th-century hilltop fortress located 84 kilometers north of Udaipur, is a UNESCO-listed site and the birthplace of Mewar's legendary king, Maharana Pratap. Surrounded by a massive 36km-long perimeter wall, the fort was built by Rana Kumbha and is considered the second most important citadel in the Mewar region.
I visited Kumbhalgarh Fort recently, and as someone from the Mewar lineage of Shishodia Rajput, it felt deeply personal. The fort’s massive walls and grand architecture are awe-inspiring, standing proud as a testament to our heritage. Walking through the gates, I felt connected to the bravery of Maharana Pratap and our ancestors. The views of the Aravalli hills are stunning, especially at sunset, and the temples inside add a spiritual touch. The guides were knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought history alive. Nearby stalls offered tasty local snacks we enjoyed.

The view from the top is simply spectacular — you can see the entire Aravalli range and the green valleys all around. It’s a perfect place for photography lovers and history enthusiasts alike. I also loved exploring the different temples inside the fort; each one has its own charm and story. The fort area is clean, the local guides are very informative, and the route to reach there is scenic with winding roads and hills. Visiting during sunset is highly recommended — the golden light on the fort looks magical! Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is a must-visit for anyone traveling in Rajasthan. It truly showcases the pride, courage, and grandeur of Rajput history. I would love to visit again! 📍 Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys exploring heritage sites.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is most famous for its 36-kilometer-long defensive wall, often called the "Great Wall of India," which is the second longest in the world. Perched 1,100 meters above sea level, its strategic location and rugged topography made it virtually impregnable, serving as a vital refuge for the Mewar rulers in times of war. Inside its walls, the fort complex includes over 360 ancient temples and the stunning Badal Mahal, or "Palace of Clouds," which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. It also holds deep sentimental value as the birthplace of the legendary warrior king, Maharana Pratap. As a fort it is mysterious, this fort cannot seen from ground, when you cross Halla Pol after few meters from there the fort is visible. Except Great Wall and Mahara Pratap birthplace, there is nothing. Museum is closed. Don't take guide, they will charge you 750 for 4 person and also provide some misinformation about museum. Entrance fee is 40 rupees for Indian and 600 for foreigners. Parking is infront of Hanuman Pol. All Historical Artifacts are kept in City Palace Udaipur. So, little bit disappointed.

Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort with my family was an absolutely goosebumps moment! Standing before this massive World Heritage Site, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, you can instantly feel the power, pride and grandeur of Rajasthan’s history. The fort is truly majestic, built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it’s one of the strongest and most beautiful hill forts in India. The sheer size of the walls stretching over 36 km, often called the “Great Wall of India” is inspiring. It’s hard to believe this was all built centuries ago without modern tools. As we climbed up through the gates and pathways, the views kept getting better. From the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and forests, it’s the kind of sight that gives you goosebumps and fills you with pride in India’s heritage. The fort’s architecture, temples and palaces inside are beautifully preserved, especially the Badal Mahal, which offers stunning views and a glimpse into royal life. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (₹50 for Indian visitors and ₹200 for foreigners) and there’s ample parking near the entrance. The fort also hosts a light and sound show in the evening, which we highly recommend if you want to experience the fort’s history come alive in a magical way. Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is not just a monument t’s an emotion. The scale, history and scenic beauty make it one of the most unforgettable places to visit in Rajasthan. A must-see for every traveler who loves heritage, architecture and the feeling of standing in the footsteps of history!

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. This fort has a majestic wall-spanning for the next 36 kilometers, also known as the great wall of India. The fort is a marvel and a wonder at the same time. Absolutely majestic, vast and amazing. Best time to visit-in the evening an hour before sunset.

It was fabulous. The fort is preserved really well. It makes you travel back in history as all the fort is still present except some part of it. The fort is very colorful and it has a very good vibe to it. I will recommend people to visit it in winters and the weather when fog is there cause it will just enhance the beauty of that place. It is a must visit place for tourists.

Built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent and well-preserved hill forts. It’s surrounded by an incredible 35 km long wall, often called the Great Wall of India — the second longest continuous wall in the world after the Great Wall of China, and still remarkably intact. The fort’s design is ingenious — it’s visible only from around 200 meters away, blending perfectly into the surrounding Aravalli hills. The first gate is Halla Pol, and about half a kilometer ahead is Hanuman Pol, marked by an idol of Lord Hanuman. The fort first becomes visible halfway between these two gates. After entering Hanuman Pol, you’ll see the ticket window ahead — entry is ₹40 for Indian adults. From there, you proceed through the main gate, Ram Pol, which leads into the main complex. Inside Ram Pol, two paths diverge — the left path takes you uphill towards Badal Mahal, while the right path leads to the temples within the complex. It’s best to climb the fort first while you have energy and enthusiasm, and visit the temples on your way down. On the way up, you’ll pass through Bhairon Pol, Nimboo Pol, Chaugan Pol, Pagda Pol, and Ganesh Pol, before reaching Badal Mahal, which offers breathtaking panoramic views. It takes about 3 hours to comfortably explore the fort, enjoy the views, and take pictures. Spare some extra time if you wish to explore the surrounding temples, as they’re spread across the lower areas. Notable temples include Neelkanth Mahadev, Vedi Temple, Parshvanath Jain, and Ganesh Temple. I also went up to Bawan Devri, a very ancient Jain temple located a bit farther inside — totally worth it. From there, I climbed onto the fort wall and walked along it, which was an amazing and memorable experience. Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great Rajput warrior. With its massive walls, scenic views, and historic charm, it’s truly a must-visit fort in Rajasthan.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a historic marvel in Rajasthan, built in the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha and known for its massive walls—the second-longest in the world. It’s also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap. I rode here with my group from Vadodara, around 400 km, and the journey was amazing. Visit during the rainy season for lush greenery and a misty vibe, almost like Nainital.❤️

As a fort it is mysterious, this fort cannot seen from ground, when you cross Halla Pol after few meters from there the fort is visible. Except Great Wall and Mahara Pratap birthplace, there is nothing. Museum is closed. Don't take guide, they will charge you 750 for 4 person and also provide some misinformation about museum. Entrance fee is 40 rupees for Indian and 600 for foreigners. Parking is infront of Hanuman Pol. All Historical Artifacts are kept in City Palace Udaipur. So, little bit disappointed.

Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort with my family was an absolutely goosebumps moment! Standing before this massive World Heritage Site, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, you can instantly feel the power, pride and grandeur of Rajasthan’s history. The fort is truly majestic, built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it’s one of the strongest and most beautiful hill forts in India. The sheer size of the walls stretching over 36 km, often called the “Great Wall of India” is inspiring. It’s hard to believe this was all built centuries ago without modern tools. As we climbed up through the gates and pathways, the views kept getting better. From the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and forests, it’s the kind of sight that gives you goosebumps and fills you with pride in India’s heritage. The fort’s architecture, temples and palaces inside are beautifully preserved, especially the Badal Mahal, which offers stunning views and a glimpse into royal life. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (₹50 for Indian visitors and ₹200 for foreigners) and there’s ample parking near the entrance. The fort also hosts a light and sound show in the evening, which we highly recommend if you want to experience the fort’s history come alive in a magical way. Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is not just a monument t’s an emotion. The scale, history and scenic beauty make it one of the most unforgettable places to visit in Rajasthan. A must-see for every traveler who loves heritage, architecture and the feeling of standing in the footsteps of history!

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. This fort has a majestic wall-spanning for the next 36 kilometers, also known as the great wall of India. The fort is a marvel and a wonder at the same time. Absolutely majestic, vast and amazing. Best time to visit-in the evening an hour before sunset.

It was fabulous. The fort is preserved really well. It makes you travel back in history as all the fort is still present except some part of it. The fort is very colorful and it has a very good vibe to it. I will recommend people to visit it in winters and the weather when fog is there cause it will just enhance the beauty of that place. It is a must visit place for tourists.

Built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent and well-preserved hill forts. It’s surrounded by an incredible 35 km long wall, often called the Great Wall of India — the second longest continuous wall in the world after the Great Wall of China, and still remarkably intact. The fort’s design is ingenious — it’s visible only from around 200 meters away, blending perfectly into the surrounding Aravalli hills. The first gate is Halla Pol, and about half a kilometer ahead is Hanuman Pol, marked by an idol of Lord Hanuman. The fort first becomes visible halfway between these two gates. After entering Hanuman Pol, you’ll see the ticket window ahead — entry is ₹40 for Indian adults. From there, you proceed through the main gate, Ram Pol, which leads into the main complex. Inside Ram Pol, two paths diverge — the left path takes you uphill towards Badal Mahal, while the right path leads to the temples within the complex. It’s best to climb the fort first while you have energy and enthusiasm, and visit the temples on your way down. On the way up, you’ll pass through Bhairon Pol, Nimboo Pol, Chaugan Pol, Pagda Pol, and Ganesh Pol, before reaching Badal Mahal, which offers breathtaking panoramic views. It takes about 3 hours to comfortably explore the fort, enjoy the views, and take pictures. Spare some extra time if you wish to explore the surrounding temples, as they’re spread across the lower areas. Notable temples include Neelkanth Mahadev, Vedi Temple, Parshvanath Jain, and Ganesh Temple. I also went up to Bawan Devri, a very ancient Jain temple located a bit farther inside — totally worth it. From there, I climbed onto the fort wall and walked along it, which was an amazing and memorable experience. Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great Rajput warrior. With its massive walls, scenic views, and historic charm, it’s truly a must-visit fort in Rajasthan.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a historic marvel in Rajasthan, built in the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha and known for its massive walls—the second-longest in the world. It’s also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap. I rode here with my group from Vadodara, around 400 km, and the journey was amazing. Visit during the rainy season for lush greenery and a misty vibe, almost like Nainital.❤️

Deendyal, Krishna and their father run a wonderful store. Huge selection of hand crafted items. Deendyal patiently showed us each and every item with great positive energy and kindness. We ended up buying hand quilted and hand blocked blankets, hand cobbled shoes made by their father and hand embroidered by their mother, and several custom tailored pieces made by Krishna. Thank you!

Bought some bed spreads , cushions covers . The owner said he would parcel our good to us in UK along with some of our other items. He sent tracking number of parcel but it never arrived. Upon investigation we found out the parcel never left India and the owner refused to chase his parcel services in India. Lost a lot of money believing that the owner would be trustworthy. 28th April 2025 Finally received my parcel 4 months later. Thank you Keshav Handicrafts 🙏

Lovely products and timely delivery! I bought 2 appliqué work bedspreads and 8 appliqué work cushion covers. One of the bedspread had a little discolouration, hence 4 stars. Otherwise the rest of the stuff are perfect!

Found this wonderful shop on Facebook and what a joyful experience it has been !! The humble tone and positive attitude of Mr Deendayal and his clarity of explaining the details of the product has been truly rewarding...On this day and age, and the manner we get defrauded in the marketplace, even with eyes wide opened...to find such genuine shop which is widely visited by so many celebrities from abroad , with the reviews highly appreciating their quality work and transparency, Their down to earth attitude and gentle demeanor ...we once again can believe in the bygone era of building trust and respect on the true artisans our India is blessed with... looking forward to purchasing many more and also personally visit the shop in near future.

Pukhraj Durry Udhyog is a captivating tourist attraction situated approximately 20km from Jodhpur. The owner provides an insightful description of the yarn and colour preparation process, and the hospitable atmosphere warmly welcomes guests even without prior appointments. The serene setting offers visitors a peaceful environment to spend an hour or more while also showcasing various designs crafted by other weavers in the village cooperative.

The weaving here is incredible. Pieces can take well over a month to complete. Considering this, the prices are very reasonable. Thank food here is wonderful. It is not like the food in the city, it is homemade and has very good flavour. We also watched the food being prepared. I recommend this place very highly to anyone visiting Jodhpur. Om is a fantastic guide and explained the processes very helpfully.

This weaving village in the outskirts of Jodhpur is by no means any ordinary place. The weaving community here have been making hand-made carpets for generations, using their proprietary interlocking weaving style which is hard to find anywhere else. In today's world of consumeristic products and promotion-based selling culture, they still cling on hand woven products, and damn, they are good. You just need an eye to observe and appreciate their work. We visited their place in Dec 2022 to see their art but came back buying two rugs. There cannot be a price to real art, and the talent and effort these craftsmen put it surely dwarfs the price they quote. Do pay a visit if you are in Jodhpur, have a chat with them, share a cup of tea, peek into their lives and you will surely come back with fond memories (and products!).

Our guide, Narendra, took us to this weaving cooperative on our Rajasthan tour in January 2023. What a fascinating experience. Ended up ordering to extra long rugs( runners for hallway). Will post pictures once we receive them.
