Thursday, 25 March 2010 - Ranakpur Jain Temple and the
When I woke up in the bus, I asked myself when we arrive for in Ranakpur. Or perhaps we were already passed it? Namely, already later than the approximate time of arrival in Ranakpur. I went to the conductor, who was sleeping next to the bus driver and he told me that we had already happened long Ranakpur and Udaipur would like to get to. When asked why he had not told me this, I got no answer. So I went to Udaipur and waited back on the first bus to Ranakpur, which arrived belatedly at 8 clock. The ticket had for the last bus postpay I do not, although I was more driven than the validity of the ticket. For that I now had to re-take a ticket to Ranakpur. With me gone, many people with a very nicely-bound red turbans, I of the total toll was her style.
Finally in Ranakpur, I asked first for an accommodation, what ever was not easy. The houses in the neighborhood cost at least Rs 300 and were too expensive. In the temple I could not sleep and the next supposedly cheap accommodation, which was recommended to me was, a few more places. The taxi in front of the temple would have a multiple of the bus fares, and there was, unfortunately, not a car that would take me. So I took the next bus, which was delayed an hour to the recommended neighboring Sadri. I took with my big backpack, I was between the store anywhere. Ca. 30 minutes later and Rs 10 less, I arrived in Sadri. There I was looking for the recommended accommodation and when I found these, there were indeed inhabited rooms but no caretaker. Who was supposedly somewhere else. A man who wanted to help me, took me on his moped again a further place them in a hotel that was too expensive, too. So I waited by the road for the next bus to Ranakpur, because the man was on his moped already gone and I did not want to run back to Sadri. The hotel was "only" about one kilometer away from Sadri, but with the heavy backpack in the sweltering heat to real skiing is not fun. All buses that I saw drove past me, although I got up the road again and again to stop the buses with hand signals. So after I had no choice other than to run it the way back. On the way I was lucky that a boy continued with his little moped and asked me if he could help me and he took me kindly to the bus station with. When I asked what he is getting money from me on the carriage, he said a simple "nothing". At the bus station I waited another 30-60 minutes on the next bus to Ranakpur and then came time for lunch at noon at the Jain temple. The whole-riding taught me that I look later but hotel rooms in Udaipur will, as have the houses in Kumbhalgarh probably about as expensive as prices in Ranakpur in the evening and I would only get there one way or another with a taxi there. Back at the temple entrance
I went to the ticket counter where I could leave my backpack in order then to lunch to go to the temple restaurant. The restaurant offered Refill Thali temple at a very reasonable price, I took advantage of course, until I was satisfied. Unfortunately, I made the little sleep the last few days to create much so that my stomach is reported back very soon rebellious and defiant. After the leisurely lunch, I wanted the already impressive from the outside looking great Jain Temple look at, but decided for now to take a short break on a bench in the shade of the trees.
where I fell asleep promptly and then did not know how long I had slept. After I had filled my water bottle with unfiltered water from a local security guard, I took off my shoes and went with camera, camera ticket and water bottle to the temple. The bottle of water I was immediately taken away, as no drinks are allowed in the temple. The bad thing was that I called up stairs to run down again and again and had the carpet laid out not really helped with the heated stones. In the temple, it was opposed by the many white marble and the shadow very cool.
knew the temple inside I do not know where to start and stop with the photo shoot where I was because everything was beautiful.
Unfortunately, I had the missing hard drive now has only limited storage capacity for photos, but it was next to the photos and videos, and enjoyed the coolness of the temple interior. In the center of the temple were no pictures will be taken to the holy cities is not desecrated. As a precautionary measure, were it around in all directions watchdog. In the middle temple, similar figures were as in the temples in Khajuraho, but not nearly as numerous. After I meet my rested and I had looked at all interesting, I went back out to get me to look around it still standing temple. This is in contrast to the large Jain temple is not so interesting, because they are much less simple. However, I looked at me all alone.
The Jain temple of one of the smaller temple photographed:
considered after a detailed inspection tour, I know if I ever wanted to stay for supper in the temple, because it my stomach gradually got worse and I always felt tired. Once again I had to go to the toilet and I followed for washing hands almost had to don a monkey, because it blocked the sink and defended I decided to go to the next bus to Udaipur.
At the bus stop an Indian distributed fairly quiet and relaxed manner of bread in monkeys, which came up close to him and took the bread. I was fascinated with what he did the rest. The bus left a little while in coming, and so I treated myself to 2 cups hot water and a bite to eat in the snack shop at the bus station. As the bus but suddenly came to me filled the host to the hot water in a plastic cup that I took the bus. So I took the bus to Udaipur, and the path took a long time. Once in the dark in Udaipur I was looking for accommodation. All hotels I inquired I was too expensive. Ultimately I found a tourist hotel, was sitting at his desk an old and kind man. This could offer me after a short negotiation and consultation with the head of the room for Rs 200 per night. So I booked the room directly for 3 nights, paid in advance Rs 600 and went to my room. The old man told me that the staff could provide me with food, but afterwards I had no desire right now. I just wanted to sleep. The room was fine after a light bulb was exchanged, and the last light in the room was. Apparently there was also a hot shower, but the water was in the shower just not warmer than the ambient temperature. So I enjoyed the warm and refreshing Shower. Finally in bed I felt the hotel very much, as it lay on a main road that led to the bus and train station. I closed the window down the hall and lay down again. My sense told me that besides me there is nobody in the hotel and slept a happy over a bed like a stone.
