DAY 14: RANAKPUR

Namaste all of people from Jodhpur,

We got up and picked up our packs, after breakfast: two pieces of toast and two coffees with milk, our partner site Chaman travel and was waiting for Onos since we had been the previous day at 9.00. The idea is to sleep in Ranakpur since you can not make the trip to Jodhpur, which was what we wanted to do. Analia told us actually you can go from Udaipur to Ranakpur, Ranakpur visit and then get to sleep in Jodhpur, but the other day shaman told us that was impossible since there were 500 km and therefore there was no choice but to stay overnight at Ranakpur.





the way the first stop we have done because we've seen in a pond a large wading birds unseen for us and Jorge wanted to photograph them.






The second stop was when we saw a village next to a man with two oxen drawing water from a well, has been a curious thing for our age because we had never seen. By stopping it from simpre, every child wanted that they should be made photos ....... Jorge






After almost 3 hours we finally arrived at Ranakpur, Chaman has led us to a hotel that we are not convinced by either the price or not be isolated from all connection to the Internet, then another to the same and finally we visited one that was that the least convinced us. So pissed off and we told Shaman that we saw the temple and from there to Jodhpur, has not sat well but nothing has been left with no choice but to accept. Ranakpur is located in a remote valley deep forest, which is reached by a winding road, this amazing complex of temples, Jains is one of the largest and more important in India. Presents a set of white marble shrines with elaborate carvings and knotty.



We entered the temple and our surprise is that it was free, in the last hotel we had discussed the possibility of staying in Dharamsala (hostel and guesthouse for pilgrims) so we asked it. Very friendly and have taught us the room consisted of a 3x3 meter room with absolutely nothing but the walls and floor and is free for the only thing you pay is for the mattresses and sheets and towels if you want, 10 rupees each unaa of them. The bathrooms and showers are shared. After looking at us and laugh because the picture does not convince us we have given the thanks to the Lord and we decided to go see the temple and little way to Jodhpur. We have said that the dining room at 1.00 and closed at 12.30 pm and were there for nothing that we have to eat. The first has been to go barefoot, the second ticket get 20 rupees per person and the third sitting on benches with tables runs as the only Western was us. We had a metal tray and two small glass bowls and the food consisted of every minute spent a will, or carrying a pot with food and I served in the tray. The menu was a kind of thalis with different sauces, have been quite an experience and you could eat all you want, the truth that we have not dared to eat a lot just in case but have been terribly sympathetic to us, the only thing bad that we had no water since the only one I served was the one who came out of a faucet. We finished eating and we had to go outside the temple to buy water because in not sold anywhere.



We started visiting a small temple in which we had to be barefoot and we could not get the bottle of water. It was really very small and we travel quite fast since it was the sun and burned marble floor that you become idea (we were at 44 degrees). From here we went to the main temple is the Chaumukha, or four-faced temple dedicated Adinath. Built in 1439, contains 29 rooms supported by a forest of 1444 pillars all different. The temple is amazing and deserves a lot worth coming to see because they are incredibly carved columns, the Bobeda of roofs were also carved figures of elephants had to all in marble carvings. Al get us past a very curious thing is that before you get a cop with a gun piece (XIX century) has told us we had to get ticket for the camera Photo (50 rupees for the photo and 150 for video), when we come to the window as we have reported that Jorge was in shorts had to get another pair on top that they will lend the modest price of 15 rupees, but had to leave 100 deposit returned to you exit. Do not you see what monkeys they were all Giris with light blue pants and ladies with a kind of camisole, then neither can enter with bare shoulders. We have been an hour and a bit inside. When I signed out in a record book and after a lot of girls have echo a picture with me while I played all the hair, ears, etc ..... We went to the car and we found napping in Chaman.



A bit of history of Rajasthan, that knowledge does not take place: The Rajasthan has a turbulent history and its geographical position and the traditional belligerence of the Rajput (sons of kings, hence the old name in the region, Rajputana), Hindu warrior caste organized into clans, which claimed direct descent aria Sun, Moon and Fire. The mystery surrounding the origins of the Rajputs, who perish have arisen, fully armed, desert sands. Probably native warriors were prearios, Hun invaders and Cynthia, who received the status of a Kshatriya (warrior-ruler) in a ritual of purification by fire on Mount Abu. In any case, have ruled with an iron hand Rajasthan for well over the past 1,000 years.

founded The Rajput from the sixth and seventh centuries feudal principalities around the strengths of the city-oasis in the desert, almost always engaged in fierce wars. His division favored Islamic penetration. In the late XII tried to stop the Afghan Muhammad of Ghor with a coalition led by princlpe Prithviraj Cauhan clan, but were easily thwarted by the best organized troops of Muhammad.

The Rajput were brave, but gave more importance to the chivalric style (romance, chivalry and courage) and its code of honor (according to which, in case of defeat should immolate with the warrior on the funeral pyre not only warrior died but their wives, children, etc., the Jauja) that the final victory in battle. His heroic deeds were obtained by the bards of the court called rasau long epic poems that constitute one of the first manifestations of literature in Hindi. There are 36 clans, many with familiar names: Bhatti (Jaisalmer), Chauhan (Ajmer), Hada Chauhan (Bundi / Kota), Jat (Bharatpur, Kuchwaha (Amber / Jaipur), Rathor (Bikaner / Jodhpur) and Sisodia (Udaipur). All the men held the title of Singh (M. / tiger), whether a single town ruled a great state.

The ancient rulers of Rajasthan were not entirely subdued. The great strengths of the region, Chittorgarh and Rathambor remained a threat to the sultanate, while extending to the Midwest and Deccan. After the fall of the strengths, most of the princes took refuge in the desert and the foothills of the Aravalli maintaining their independence with a boldness and stubbornness legendary. Then the Mughal

changed policy toward the Rajput, instead of proposing a crackdown difficult and costly to try to win them to create bonds of blood through marriages (Akbar himself married a princess of the clan Kachvaha) or entrusting political offices and military prestige. Only one of them, Udaipur Maharana Pratap Singh, refused to submit to the Mughals. With the decline of Mughal Rajput principalities regain some autonomy, recognized even during the British raj. The Maharajas (kings) and frogs (princes) rich gentlemen of tiny states became synonymous luxury, opulence and exoticism in the Western imagination (Rani: princess).

Rajput princes were able to retain certain privileges after independence in 1947. But the architects of independence, Gandhi and Nehru at the helm, they had not made room in the new India. However, the 565 Hindu Maharajas and the Muslim nabobs reigned as hereditary and absolute sovereign over a third of Indian territory and approximately over 100 million inhabitants. Princes and the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Maharaja of Kashmir ruled so vast and populous states like the great nations of Europe. The brotherhood had princely some of the richest men the world, as well as more modest income monarchs that a merchant in the bazaar of Bombay. The experts had calculated, however, that each had an average of 11 titles, 5.8 women, 9.2 elephants, private railcars 2.8, 3.4 Rolls-Royce and a track record of 22, 9 Tigers killed. It was in the seventies when Indira Gandhi began to seize property and abolish titles and perks. Maharaja Many were forced to launch a new business career, forts and palaces are open to the public and converted into museums or luxury hotels (more than 70% of the tourist trade in the hands of the Rajputs), helping the Rajasthan is the Indian state most visited by Western tourists. Caminito
to Jodhpur we miss a stop for tea in a gambling den and 6 road Jodhpur we entered as we imagine as there is 500 km but 260 things we already knew, the shaman always making mischief .. ............ We have given a card from a guest house that we had recommended and how could it be otherwise we have to insist on going to another. As we pointed out that the Lonely came in and not getting bad we have accepted. DURAG called Niwas Guest House. Had not yet very clear where he was and had to ask like 15 times, but good at the end is found. The room is very simple and small but is more or less clean and also has cool air for 250 rupees.
We have connected to the Internet even when the computer is a little potato and also forces us to write sentadosos on the floor. Well of despair after finishing with the hotel computer, which had decided to eat dinner hunger and thali was again as it was the specialty of the cook. The dinner cost us 100 rupees more water than we.

From here on the bed that morning we had stayed with Chaman at 10.00 to take us to visit the city of Jodhpur. In our room we have a tenant called salamander that although I do not do very much, George says he eats all the mosquitoes and so we do not bite.
Regarding your interest in some part of me who was injured in Udaipur, say that the tattoo will change color, now is a blackish purple mogollon cool, but good leg no longer hurts me and bothers me tattoo only when charge large backpack. Almost no bugs bite us and we already know Indian molamos no longer so.
