The only hill resort of Rajasthan, is
not only one of the prettiest hill stations in the
country, but a major Rajput and Jain pilgrimage centre.
When ascending the mountain, one can hardly fail
to be impressed with the grandeur and the scenic beauty.
The gigantic blocks of rocks, along the crest of
the hill, are especially striking.
The hill boasts of a rich vegetation
and thick forest. It stands out like on oasis in arid
environs. |
PRIME SITES
IN MOUNT-ABU
|
|
|
Delwara Jain Temple:
The world renowned temples have quite simple
exteriors, and one is quite unprepared for the
splendour of the interior. The main group
consists of five temples which are marvels in
white marble, contructed between 11th and 13th
centuries. The temples of Vimal Shah, Vastupala
and Tejapala are of particular interest.
|
|
Nakki Lake: Nakki Lake,
is believed to be dug out by the gods with their
nails (nakh). The town forms an amphitheatre around this
lake. The Toad Rock, overhangs the placid water
and seems as if ready to dive in the blue waters of the
lake. South-West of Nakki, is the enchanting Sunset
Point, which offers a great view of the crimson
coloured dusk kissing the lush plains of the horizon.
Honeymoon Point or Anadra
Point: affords a breathtaking view of the
verdant valley and the plains.

|
Gau Mukh: Gau
Mukh, a holy spot has an old tank which is
supplied with water from a spout, shaped like a
cow's head hence the name Gau Mukh. The temple
of Vashishtha, and the fire pit, where Agnikula
Rajputs are said to have been created, are quite
intresting and old sites. |
|
Guru
Shikhar (15 kms): It is the highest peak
of the Aravalis at 1772 meters. It affords
a panoramic view. There is a small Shaivite
shrine, and temple of Dattatreya. |
