Vi er taget ud for at opleve Sisodia Garden Palace lige lidt udenfor byen
Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh is situated at a distance of 10 km from Jaipur city and lies on Jaipur-Agra highway. This royal garden was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in 1728 for his second queen Sisodia. Sisodia Rani Garden is adorned with beautiful wall paintings of Radha-Krishna love story. The paintings on the wall and the narrative details truly represent eternal love and befits the essence of this garden which itself is a symbol of love. This lush green royal garden is replete with flowerbeds, foliage, beautiful water fountains, pavilions, galleries, iridescent water channels and murals. It is said that in the olden days, the garden served as an ideal getaway for the Queen. Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh is multi-tiered and makes an interesting tourist spot. Additionally, the garden breathes life to the desert soil of Jaipur.
Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in 1728 for his second queen, a princess from Udaipur. The Maharaja presented this royal garden to his beloved queen to serve as a perfect retreat place for her. Away from hustle bustle of court politics, the garden offered a peaceful haven for Sisodia Rani. The garden is filled with various plant species, lush green shrubs and scented flowers. The walls are decorated with murals of Radha-Krishna, symbolizing the love that the Maharaja had for his beloved queen Sisodia.
The layout of this royal garden is a beautiful mix of traditional Indian designs and Mughal style. One can see traditional Indian designs, such as the use of pavilions and spires, in the garden. The walls are decked with beautiful paintings of the eternal lovers, Radha and Krishna. The flowerbeds, fountains and water channel running through the garden and merging at the centre are quite symbolic of Mughal style. There are natural springs and shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, Vishnu and Hanuman in the vicinity of this royal garden.
Der var nogle som gerne ville have taget billeder med mig..
Vi skal op og se Galta Ji, som er et gammelt tempel hvor der skulle være aber overalt..
Galtaji is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site in the town of Khania-Balaji, about 10 km away from Jaipur, in the Indian state ofRajasthan. The site consists of a series of temples built in to a narrow crevice in the ring of hills that surrounds Jaipur. A natural spring emerges high on the hill and flows downward, filling a series of sacred kunds (water tanks) in which pilgrims bathe. The visitor or pilgrim ascends the crevasse, continuing past the highest water pool to a hilltop temple from which a magnificent view of Jaipur and its fortifications spreads out across the valley floor. It is believed that a Saint named Galav lived here, practiced meditation, and did penance
The temple complex of Ramgopalji temple is colloquially known as Monkey temple (Galwar Bagh) in travel literature, due to the large tribe of monkeys who live here in the temples, which have been largely abandoned and only partially restored. These rhesus macaques were featured in National Geographic Channel's Rebel Monkeys series and "Thar Desert - Sacred sand" episode of Wildest India Series.
Built within a mountain pass within the Aravalli Hills 10 km. east of Jaipur, Galtaji has been a retreat for Hindu ascetics belonging to vaishnavite Ramanandi sect, since the early 16th century;[1] its present temple was built by Diwan Rao Kriparam, a courtier of Sawai Jai Singh II, in the 18th Century. The main temple is the Temple of Galtaji, built in pink stone. The temple features a number of pavilions with rounded roofs, carved pillars, and painted walls. The complex is set around a natural spring and the waterfalls that create two tiered pools, the upper and lower pool, used for bathing by pilgrims.
There is another temple in the complex, the temple of Balaji. Built on the highest peak in the town of Galta is Diwan Kriparam, Sun Temple, dedicated to Surya, the Sun God in Hinduism and was built in the 18th century.
The temple is famous for its natural water springs, which draw special attention from visitors. The water of these springs accumulates in tanks (kunds). There are seven tanks, the holiest being the Galta Kund, which never goes dry. It is considered auspicious to bathe in the waters of Galtaji, especially on Makar Sankranti, and thousands come to bathe every year.
Normalt er vandet ikke grønt, men de har lige haft festival her i byen og i den forbindelse er vandet blevet farvet..
Legends narrates that Saint Galav spent all his life here and performed his ‘tapasya’ for 100 long years. Gods pleased with his penance appeared before him and blessed the place with abundant water. The temple was built in his name to honor the great ‘rishi’. It is believed that taking a dip in the natural springs of Galtaji cleanses away your sin.
Aberne kom op og slås imens vi var der og fløj om ørerne på os, og da vi kunne se guiden blive bange og skynde sig væk, var det nok en god indikator på at vi ikke var i sikkerhed hvor vi var.. De var meget agressive... Så vi skyndte os ned igen
