Harishchadragad, the hillfort of #Ahmednagar has an interesting story worth exploring! #Harishchandragad is one of the very old hillforts of #Mahrashtra. It has a mention in the holy texts of India including the #Matsyapurana, #Skandapurana and #Agnipurana. The hillfort is said to belong to the 6th CE whereas the caves were carved in the 11th CE. It is also said that the great sage who created the epic tatvasaar, Sage Changdev meditated here in the 14th CE. ⁣ #KedareshwarCave - As you move towards the Harishchandreshwara temple is the beautiful cave of #Kedareshwar. This cave has a 5 ft tall #shivalinga and is rather hard to get to because of the icecold water it is surrounded by. The pillars here are said to have a peculiar meaning. The four pillars symbolize the four Yugas, 'Satya Yuga', 'Tretha Yuga', 'Dwapara Yuga' and 'Kali Yuga'. Each pillar breaks by itself at the end of each Yuga!

The Lodhi Gardens are a 90 acre city park in #NewDelhi, India. Named after the fifth and final dynasty of the #Delhi sultanate, the Lodhi's, the gardens were founded in the 20th century. The #LodhiGardens became the park they are now in the 1930s, when the wife of a British expat, Lady Willingdon, cleared two villages in order to landscape a park in the area containing Lodhi era (late 15th/early 16th century) tombs. The gardens were originally named after her, but after Indian Independence in 1947, they were renamed the Lodhi #Gardens.
