Shopping, Sightseeing and Excursions
Fateh Bagh is located within a few kilometres of
Ranakpur, an important Jain pilgrimage site. It is
also close to the city of Udaipur. Ranakpur is one of the holiest Jain
sites of India. Nestled on the banks of the river Magai and sequestered
by mountains, Ranakpur’s beauty is accentuated by its seclusion. The
main Chaumukha (four faced) temple was built
in 1439 and is dedicated to the first Enlightened One, Adinatha
Rishabdeva. An inscription in it traces its origin to the reign of Rana
Kumbha. Erected on a raised platform, it is surrounded by 66
subsidiary shrines. It has 1444 beautifully carved pillars, of which no
two are alike. Fateh Bagh is also within easy driving distance of
Kumbhalgarh Fort. Built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, one of
Mewar’s greatest warriors, this vast bastion was renowned for its
inaccessibility. Other important
pilgrimage sites are Shri Eklingji temple and
Nathdwara, on the banks of the river Banas.
Nathdwara has the most celebrated Vaishnava shrine of Lord Krishna or
Shri Nathji. It is a major pilgrimage destination and also a centre for
traditional meenakari (enamel) work.
