Places to visit nearby Madhav University

1. Dilwara Temples

Description:

The five temples of Dilwara - Vimal Vasahi, Luna Vasahi, Pithalhar, Khartar Vasahi, and Mahavir Swami - have their own uniqueness to speak of. It took the Chalukyas 200 years to build all of them.

2. Nakki Lake

Description

Was it dug in one night by the love-struck Rasiya Balam? Was it dug purely by using fingernails (nakh)? Or maybe gods found refuge in it while saving themselves from the Bashkali demon. No one really knows the real story behind Nakki Lake.
Reality or fable, one thing is absolutely true that the serene blue waters of the Nakki Lake look beautiful under the clear blue sky. Tourists enjoy sitting by the banks of the lake and taking boat rides on it.

3. Toad Rock in Mount Abu

Description


A unique rock formation that looks like a toad, many visitors often come here out of sheer curiosity. You can easily climb on the top of this rock. While you sit on it for a while, enjoy splendorous views of Nakki Lake and the city.

4. Adhar Devi Temple in Mount Abu

Description


This is one of the prime pilgrimage points for the Jain community. Situated atop a cliff, you'll have to climb a whopping 360 stairs to reach here. The Shrine of Adhar Devi is approachable but through a narrow cave. The temple is carved out of just one piece of rock and is one-of-its-kind example of such architecture in India.

5. Brahma Kumari Ashram in Mount Abu

Description

Perhaps few organisations have stimulated as much change and discussion at the time of their inception, or have undergone such expansion in succeeding decades, as the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual
University
. Yet, throughout its growth and development, the BKWSU has managed to maintain its original principles and adhere to its original purpose.


When the University came into being under the name “Om Mandali” it consisted of only a handful of men, women and children living in Hyderabad, Sindh (now part of Pakistan, but at that time part of colonial India). After a respected and wealthy member of their community, Dada Lekhraj, experienced a series of visions in 1936, these spiritual pioneers were inspired to transform their lives.
