At www.lovekushteach.blogspot.in I mapped seven historical Places In India.
1) Kumbhalgarh – Rajasthan
Kumbalgarh, the jewel of Mewar, is situated in the Rajsamand district of
Rajasthan. History, royalty , power and culture are all packed in this
place. It is a treat for human eyes and mind. The fort accommodates
three hundred and sixty temples (yes it’s possible) three hundred jain
and the rest hindu. And it does not end here, the place has one more
major attraction, the Kumbalgarh wildlife sanctuary. You can take
heritage walk, adventure activities, spend time in the lap of nature.
The seven tall fortified gates of this masterpiece are open for you.
2) Rabdentse – Sikkim
A former capital of Sikkim, Rabdentse is located in west Sikkim. It is a
popular choice among backpackers as home stays are easily available at
nominal rates. One of the oldest monasteries of the city Pemayangtse is
situated close to the site and adds to the spirit of the environs.
Rabdentse provides a vantage point to the visitors from which
breathtaking view of kanchengdonga ranges can be witnessed. These ruins
are a part of Buddhist religious pilgrimage. It will be a wise choice
for travelers on a budget looking to soak in the taste of the Sikkimi
culture and food.
3. Tughlakabad – New Delhi
The site has an uncanny resemblance to the ruins of Mohenjdaro-Harappa,
but it exists in the heart of our capital, New Delhi. Any sightseer who
comes face to face with this monument will only wonder why it is not one
of the biggest attractions of the city. The height of the citadel is
imposing and the view from top is truly unique. You will be astonished
by the intelligence and engineering skills used to make artificial lake
and embankments around the area. The sheer size of this fortress and
its earthy charm never fails to mesmerize visitors.
4. Maluti Temples – Jharkhand
These
ancient temples trace their origins to the pre-historic times. Maluti is
a small town near Shikaripara in the wilderness of Jharkhand and boasts
of 72 old terracotta temples. These are considered one of the top ten
ruins in the world. The walls of these exquisite temples narrate the
story of Ramayana and Mahabharata in a unique style, which demonstrates
the cultural diversity of India. Moreover, these historical places in
India are also famous for the sacrifice of 100 goats during Kali Puja.
5) Vikramshila University – Bihar
Not many
people are aware that India had many excellent educational centers in
the past including Vikramsila University, located 50 km east of
Bhagalpur. It was one of the largest Buddhist learning centers, spread
over hundred acres of land. As you enter the campus you cannot help but
be envious of the scholars who once studied here. The centre has an
astonishing fifty two rooms spread on both sides of the corridor with an
elaborate stupa at the center. What is even more marvelous is the
enormous library that has been excavated and testifies to the rich
history of India. A visit to this glorious & historical university
is highly recommended just to get a sense of advancement that India had
thousands of years ago.
6) Basgo-Leh, Ladakh
The Basgo
fort stands proudly on the bank of a hill overlooking the serene Indus
River in Ladakh. The town Basgo separates lower and upper Ladakh, once a
very important cultural and political centre; it was the seat of the
Namgayal family. There are three temples dedicated to different forms of
Buddha including the goddess Maitryi. Sitting in the summit and writing
a journal is an exhilarating experience. If you are in search of inner
peace and introspection, this is the place to be.
7) Bhangarh – Rajasthan
The fort
has been declared as the most haunted place of India. If you choose to
visit the historical place rest assured that you will be told hundred
different “authentic” stories about how it is possessed by ghosts. The
ride to Ajabagarh is spectacular as tall trees accompany you on both
sides of the road. And if you’re in luck the clouds and drizzle add to
the thrill.
