Ah, Ranigumpha in Odisha, India! That name conjures images of ancient rock-cut architecture and a glimpse into a fascinating historical period. Ranigumpha, meaning "Queen's Cave," is a significant archaeological site located near the Udayagiri and Khandagiri caves in Odisha. These caves are primarily Jain rock-cut shelters dating back to the 2nd century BCE. What makes Ranigumpha particularly interesting is its double-storied structure, a relatively unique feature among the Udayagiri and Khandagiri complex. The carvings and sculptures found within these caves offer valuable insights into the art, religion, and society of ancient Odisha during that era. You can see intricate depictions of human figures, animals, religious symbols, and scenes that likely illustrate Jataka tales or Jain principles. Exploring Ranigumpha gives you a tangible connection to India's rich historical and religious past. Imagine the Jain ascetics who once sought refuge and practiced their faith within these very rock-cut chambers. The simplicity of the architecture, juxtaposed with the detailed carvings, speaks volumes about their way of life and the artistic expressions of the time. The site's proximity to other significant caves like Udayagiri and Khandagiri makes it part of a larger historical tapestry, offering a comprehensive look at the ancient heritage of the region. Have you had a chance to explore these caves in person?

One of the ponds in the Chittorgarh Fort. I suspect it faces (not exactly) the Surya Temple, hence the name Surajkund bawadi. This could have served as a water reserve during the hot summers for the henchmen who lived at Fort Arena. This region was previously affected by many droughts and the water reserves from torrential rains served as an oasis. Here you will feel the importance of water. We are privileged to have plenty of water for our daily needs.

The 5,200 meter high pass is the pinnacle of lonely trekking in the Markha Valley. Technically easy, the hiker has to deal with the altitude in particular. The highest peak of the Ladakh Range, the 6,400 meter high Kang Yatse with its glaciers, dominates the scenery. But the six-thousander Dzo Jongo is also clearly visible. The pass connects the Markha with the Indus Valley.
