Day 6.
Type of accommodation:Hotel
Early in the morning we will go to the ancient town of Bundi. This is a place that used to bask in the rays of glory, and today rests on its laurels. The city is famous for its temples and wells. The Ranigi ki Baori well was built in 1699 by decree of Queen Rani Nathavati and has the second name "Queen's Well". The Queen liked the idea of wells, and by her decree, more than 10 more similar wells were built in Bandi. The head of the Meena tribe named Bunda named the settlement in his honor in ancient times. In 1342, the settlement was recaptured by Rao Deva Khada, who made it the capital of a mini-state that existed until 1948, when it joined the Kingdom of Rajasthan, and later the state of the same name. We will see amazing "Rajasthani" frescoes and murals in the Taragarh Fort and in the palace, which was built in the 14th century. The famous writer Rudyard Kipling visited the Sukh Mahal Palace and it is claimed that it was he who inspired him to write his famous masterpieces.

Day 7. 1st century Tantric Temples of Menal
Type of accommodation:Hotel
In the middle of the road between Bundi and Chittorgarh is the syncretic natural temple ensemble Menal. As a result of the earthquake, a deep semicircular canyon formed in the river's path, and water flows rushed down. People added two temple complexes to the space, spreading them on different sides of the waterfall, and the painting became complete. In winter and spring, the river dries up completely, and in summer, during the rainy season, the dead gorge fills with living water. This is one of my favorite places. The ancient Tantric order of Rajput knights owned these temples. The energy is powerful, virgin, and natural. The walls are lavishly decorated with bas-reliefs depicting the Kama Sutra, and the interior is empty.

Day 8. The Great Night of Shiva.
Type of accommodation:Hotel
He is the one who creates, supports and destroys creation, the defender of righteousness, the conqueror of demons, the giver of all benefits and the ruler of all things, to whom all other gods obey; in one direction of Hinduism, his hypostasis of the destroyer of the Universe at the end of the world cycle, Mahayuga, comes to the fore in order to create space for a new creation. He is considered the creator of the sacred sound "Om" and Sanskrit, the language of the cult. He has the hypostasis of a healer and deliverer from death (Mahamrityunjaya). He is also known by the names Rudra, Shankara, Mahadeva, Maheshwar (the Great God), Nataraja... Shiva is the highest consciousness of man. Shiva is the cosmic masculine principle.Shiva is the power that destroys our illusions. Mahashivaratri On this night, according to legend, Shiva performed tandava, the dance of primary creation, preservation and... destruction. Yogis and various practitioners revere the manifestations of Shiva as the Father of the World and Shakti as the Mother of the World. In their essence, Shiva and Shakti represent a single principle. In one of the legends, Shiva promises his help to those who dedicate this night to spiritual practice, this is perhaps the most significant factor that distinguishes this night from all others. Symbolizing the aspect of transformation, Shiva helps to overcome obstacles on the way and experience inner bliss and peace. Shiva is addressed throughout the night of Shivratri, performing Abhisheka. On Shivratri, there are usually four pujas dedicated to various aspects and manifestations of Shiva to cover the various methods and moods of worship, both Vedic and Tantric. In addition, such reverence symbolizes various stages of spiritual growth, transitions from one achara to another on a single path of Shiva realization. We will practice all night, play Leela with Evgeny Nemolyaev on the roof of the temple and perform rudra abishekam to the main lingam of the Rajput clan in the ancient capital of Mewar. We will meet the dawn at the eastern gate of the fort and go to rest at the hotel. In the afternoon, we will have a delicious lunch and transfer to the airport.
