Located just 156 KM (3-hour drive) from Udaipur is Banswara. Banswara is immensely beautiful, having a lot of places to explore. One such mystical and mysterious place is Ram Kund in Banswara. Having said that it’s a kund, you might infer that it would be a small pond. Let me reconfirm your beliefs that this place is not a small pond but a cave.
Let us read through to know about this amazing place.
All about Ram Kund:
Ram Kund, also known as ‘Phati Khaan’, is situated at a distance of 25 km from Banswara. It is nestled amidst a barren and deserted area. It is surrounded by hills and located inside one of them. The whole cave inside the hill has a reservoir and turquoise waters flow through it, which is truly a mesmerizing thing to watch noting the fact that we are in Rajasthan.

The cave is situated 300-400 meters below the ground, so one has to climb up the hill and then go inside where the cave can be found. The temperatures fall down drastically when one enters the cave; the outside temperature can be taken as double when compared to the temperature in the inside of the cave. The water in the reservoir is always freezing cold.
Mythology related to Ram Kund:
According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Ram with his wife Sita and brother Laxman visited this place during his exile and drank water from the reservoir. This is the reason why the place is known as Ram Kund. Not only this, it is also believed that Tatya Tope, a great Indian Freedom Fighter in the year 1857, used this place for hiding from the British and making war strategies against them.

Best time to visit Ram Kund:
The best time to visit this place is during the monsoon seasons because the hills are lush green and the whole atmosphere is blissful.
The present state of Ram Kund:
Ram Kund is not commercialized up till now but the present state of this baffling place is not very good. People come here and litter around, rather than saving the natural beauty it is.
Here is a glimpse of the situation at Ram Kund, Watch Here:

Resting beautifully at a distance of 10 km from the Udaipur city is the ancient Amrakh Mahadev temple. The history of the temple ages back to 1500 years. The temple is under the supervision of Prabhav Kumar Dashora, who is the chief priest there. He told us that the temple and the nearby land was acquired by his ancestors in lieu of the astrological work they did.
The less known temple near the city is scarcely visited by the locals, let alone the tourists. However, the footfall increases a bit during the monsoon season as people consider the temple as picnic destination being surrounded by the lush greenery of the Aravali hills.

History of the temple
Around 1500 years ago, there was a king named Raja Ambrish. The king left all the worldly pleasures and came to the place to worship Shiv Ji. Every day to worship the Shiv linga of the Mahadev, he used to go to the River Ganga to bring water which he would use in the Abhishek of the Shivlinga. Goddess Ganga was so impressed by his faith and devotion that one day she decided to come along with the king and from then on it is said that the water of the River Ganga is flowing in the temple. The place where the water flows is known as Gang Kund. According to the Pujari, the kund has never dried even during the situation of drought.

The King later became popular with the name Amar Rishi which is why the temple is named as Amrakh Mahadev temple.
About the temple
There are two temples in the premises. One is where the idol of Raja Ambrish is situated who achieved salvation at the place and the other temple homes the statue of four faced Mahadev who was worshipped by the King. This statue was constructed by the rulers after the King Ambrish as per his wish.
Picture by: Lakshit Samar
Most of the temple was ruined during the Mughal era where the Mughals fragmented the temple as well as the statues. The temple took 10 years to get renovated beginning from the year 1993 and getting completed by the year 2003.
The remains of the temple can still be seen in the temple where pillars and the lower portion of the temple reflect the 1500 years old architecture. Some carving can be seen on the upper side of the inside of the dome.

Gang Kund can be spotted outside the temple where one can witness a variety of fishes. It is said that drinking the water of the kund heals several diseases.
Major events at the temple

Every year on the next day of Rakshabandhan, which is also known as ‘Thandi Rakhi’ a fair is conducted at the place. Vibrant food stalls, eateries, and rides can be seen in the fair which is attended by 20-25 thousand people from nearby villages every year. It is said that the fair is taking place from the mythological era. Apart from that, on every new moon day, a grand Kaalsarp Pooja takes place at the temple which is attended by the devotees of the lord.

Delwara is quite famous because of the architecture of the monuments and buildings there but majorly it is known for being named as the ‘Town of The Gods’. Let us read why the place is known with such an unusual name.

Originally, it is said that Delwara had as many as a thousand temples out of which 400 were Jain Temples.

The temples have been perfectly preserved by the State Department of Archaeology and Museum, Rajasthan. It has a pentagonal shape with a gigantic rampart wall in its surroundings which makes it completely exhilarated. One surprising thing about the architecture of the temple is that the unique architectural style doesn’t belong to its surrounding region in any manner. There is no solid evidence of North Indian Hindu temple architectural features or any Rajasthani architectural characteristics in it. It isn’t also blended with local or regional architectural features and characteristics.
