Have you seen the Great Wall of India?  Yes, it exists in Rajasthan! The #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite, located near #Udaipur, is a fort called #Kumbhalgarh. The spectacular structure is known for its long wall on the #AravalliHills. It is the second largest fort complex in India, right after Chittor Fort. Built by Rana Kumbha, the Mewar Kingdom ruler back in the 15th century, the beautiful fort sits 1100 m above sea level. It is now open to the public, so you can visit this wonderful place. The fort is 3600 ft tall, and 38 km long covering a vast area. An interesting fact about the fort is that it has some 360 temples, most of which are said to be Jain temples. You will also find step-wells, palaces, gardens, and 700 cannon bunkers. Coming to the wall, it runs for 36 km, and is said to be the second longest continuous wall in the world, right after the Great Wall of China. The massive wall meanders through the hilly landscape, and is a spectacular sight from the fort. A wonderful place for some photography. The fort was one of the main bastions of hope for rulers of the region during times of danger. It was, however, breached once during its lifetime. Some parts of the wall are quite wide, so much so that eight horses can ride through. The fort consists of a famous Ganesh Temple that you can visit, and it is considered to be one of the earliest temples. Also, there is a Shiva Temple called Neel Kanth Mahadeva Temple, which was built in 1458 CE.

The Govind Dev temple is one of the oldest temples present in #Vrindavan. The temple was built by Raja Maan Singh in the 16th century following an indo-islamic style of architecture which was prevalent at the time. The idol once enshrined here has a deep significance and was excavated by saint Chitanya Mahaprabhu’s disciple, later to be moved to a temple in #Jaipur for safety where it is present today.

Ganpati temple in #Kanipakam village, located in #Chittoor district of the Indian state of #AndhraPradesh Temple was established in the early 11th century CE by the Chola king Kulothunga Chola I and was enhanced even more in 1336 by the Emperors of Vijayanagara dynasty. Years ago there lived three brothers in a village near viharipura, one of them was blind, one deaf and the other dumb. One day they were drawing water from well and water dried out. Hense they started digging down and were shocked to see blood oozing from the ground. On further excavation it was found to be "UDHBHAVA GANAPATI SWAMY" Brothers worshipped ganapa and got rid of their physical defects. Whole village worshipped ganapathi by offering coconuts. The coconut water started flowing into a stream, to a distance of more than one and a quarter acres. This phenomenon led to the coinage of the word "KANIPAKAM" where "Kani"means wetland and "Pakam" means flow of water into wetland. *The waters of the holy well never dry up *Lord Vinayak idol of Kanipakam is reportedly growing in size with the passage of time. Currently, only the knees and abdomen of the idol are visible. Old silver kavachas wont fit him now. *Another interesting aspect of Kanipakam is the Bahuda River, that flows near vinayaka temple. Two brothers 'sanaka' and 'likitha' were travelling to kanipakam for piligrimage. Likitha gave in for hunger and without permission plucked a mango from nearby farm. Duty bound sanaka informed this to local king. As a punishment,king chopped of likithas arm. Later.. on reaching temple and taking holy dip in well/kalyani , likitha got his arms back. Soon after this incident, the ruler of that place named the river as Bahuda Bahu means arms and Da means giver.. Do visit πŸ€— and be blessed.
