Places impact you for a variety of reasons. And the same place impacts different people in different ways. This is especially true when it comes to spiritual experiences, where every single person’s experience is unique. And personally, every spiritual experience is unique, the same person can have different deeply spiritual experiences at different places, at different times. This thought has emerged because of my own experiences over the years, but especially so this year, with different and unique experiences at various places I have visited recently. I began this year with a visit to Baroda (Vadodara) with friends. It was meant to be a relaxed trip, a touristy trip, with our sons. We enjoyed ourselves to the hilt, but the highlight of that trip was a visit to the Lakulisha temple at Pavagadh.

Udaipur
is the lake city of Rajasthan. Most of
the state might be a desert, but Udaipur, with its five huge interconnected
lakes is blessed with not just a perennial water supply, but the lakes also
keep the city and its environment cool, even in the sweltering heat of summer! The
city draws not just crowds of tourists coming from across the world for a
glimpse of its magnificent palaces, but also droves of migratory birds drawn by
the lakes! The city is thus an interesting blend of history and nature, well
worth a leisurely visit.

All the city of Rajasthan are famous for its forts and havelies. I think only kings from Rajasthan were interested in building forts not others
ReplyDeleteRajasthan is indeed famous for its forts and havelis, but its not true that no one else built forts. there are forts all over India, some even more beautiful than those in Rajasthan.
