The
only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu huddles among the rocks on a
1,220-m granite table mountain at the far southwestern end of the
Aravalli hills. Mount Abu is also well known for the famous Dilwara
temples and many more archaeological remains. more.. |

Dilwara Temples This complex consisting of
five marble Jain temples is one of the finest in Rajasthan, worth
braving the queues and ferocious guards. These beautifully carved
temples built between 11th & 13th century AD are sheer elegance in
marble, dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. The Vimal Vasahi Temple is
the oldest of these, dedicated to the first Tirthankara. Built in 1031
AD (by Vimal Shah- a merchant and representative of the then Gujarat
ruler), it is a superb example of temple architecture. |

Shillong Perched at an altitude of 1,496 m,
this lesser known hill station is also called the "Scotland of the
east". What exactly it has in common with Scotland maybe a matter
of discussion but the majority of the population - the Khasis and the
Jaintias - boats of a clan system that would any day outrival the
Scottish clans!
