Temples of Kumbalgarh Fort

There are many temples inside this huge Kumbalgarh Fort complex that has a circumference of 36kms running across the hills.

It is believed that there are not less than 360 temples insi
de the Fort in its golden period. In the short time I spent there I have captured few of them in my lens.

A lot of temples in this fort. I wondered why it was built?

I don't know if I've told you that I enjoy the Incredible India facts on your sidebar...they really helps me learn.

Very similar to the one just built here in Canada. However I am just amazed how much work it went to build this beautiful structure. Thanks for sharing, and hope all is well. Anna :)

These are all beautiful buildings--the first one is very lovely. It would be so interesting to visit India and see all these temples in person--maybe someday. Have a nice weekend. Mickie :)
