En route, we visit the famous Jain temples of Ranakpur which lie buried in a shady glen and cover a vast area. The central temple is called Chaumukha (four-faced) and is the most complex and extensive of Jain temples in India, covering an area of over 40,000 sq. feet (3600 sq metres). Its 29 halls are supported by 1,444 pillars, none of which are alike. Subsidiary shrines in the shape of side alters throng around in all directions, including a temple dedicated to the Sun God which displays erotic carvings.

We stop at a small village, first we look at the simple means of irrigation which is a water bucket wheel. Interesting and with a little effort from Steve and Subask were able to get the water flowing pretty good.

Just in time for school! We had the opportunity to be there for the mourning prayer. As always when we see this it is a wonderful experience.

The Jain temple was a great interesting and we took a lot of photos but in the end the temple experience seems to run into each other yet I would not have wanted to miss it.

Finally we arrive in Udaipur and we will be here two nights…laundry time for us!
