Paintings and carvings created by our ancestors almost 40000 years ago left us speechless. Prof. S.K.

Bundelkhand Diary | Kalinjar Fort | Neelkanth Temple | S01E03


Kalinjar is a fortress city in the Bundelkhand region of central India. It  is located in Banda District of Uttar Pradesh state, near the temple city and World Heritage Site of Khajuraho.

After exploring Ajaygarh  we went to Kalinjar.

It served several of Bundelkhand's ruling dynasties, including the Chandela dynasty of Rajputs in the 10th century, and the Solankis of Rewa. The fortress contains several temples dating as far back as the Gupta dynasty of the 3rd-5th centuries.

Neelkanth Templeis  one of the famous and religious site in this fort. Here  we have seen some amazing stone carvings and rock cut tanks. We also witness the Evening Aarti of Neelkanth Mahadev.

Bundelkhand Diary | Ajaigarh Fort | Palace | Secret hidden site of Hindu and Jain Tantra | S01E02


India has a unique collection of hidden gems and Ajaigarh is one of them, a forgotten page of history which story, never been told. Situated 70 KM away from Khajuraho, this Chendla city, which have unbelievable layers of history left neglected and unrelieved.  A  400 years old deserted palace attracts treasure hunters with a magnum attitude, but the real mystery is spread over in 2 Square KM at the nearby hill top fort.
Ajaigarh means ‘un-invaded fort’ in Devnagri language. With its remote location and difficult terrain, it is also submerged in dense forest. The ASI has been listed this site but left no clue to understand the vivacity of it. Not only the Chandela’s of 12th century AD, but it have prominent indication of Kushan influence what makes the site at least 2500 years old. It has various Hindu and Jain artefact, mystifying stone curved idol of Tanrik gods and goddesses and a fort hold; built and rebuilt by multiple dynasties.
