Set deep within the Aravallis, past forested hills and quiet villages, Neelkanth Temple complex stands in quiet devotion (too chatgpt style), an architectural marvel where nature and faith have been entwined for centuries. Dating back to the 6th to 9th centuries CE, the complex was once part of a sacred landscape of over 200 shrines. Today, remnants of these temples lie scattered across the site, bearing witness to their former grandeur.
Drive through Tehla’s narrow lanes as the town awakens and the soft hum of daily life begins anew. Enter through the bustling main streets, where jeeps rattle along uneven lanes, vendors call out their wares, and the air carries the inviting whiff of chai. Children jostle into old jeeps on their way to school, and bullock carts laden with fresh vegetables trundle through the streets, joining the rhythm of a town that has kept its pulse steady for centuries.
a journey through time, rural and sacred, carried by chants, dust, and a lingering pulse of the past.
Beyond the town, the village slows into quiet corners where artisans shape mojhdis, traditional leather shoes, and galeecha weavers craft carpets in threads that shimmer in the morning light. Crossing old bridges and farms brings you to Mansarovar, where four brothers shape clay with care. Visitors can watch and try the wheel, creating keepsakes of rural artistry.
