• Visit Ranakpur Jain Temple in the morning. The Ranakpur Temple complex comprises 1,444 intricately carved pillars, 24 pillared halls, and 80 domes borne by 400 columns. The apogee of this temple architecture is that no two pillars here are the same. The temple structure has five spires, each of which houses a shrine underneath, and under the largest spire on the axis of the main entrance, the Chaumukha Shrine, you can locate the 6-foot-tall statue of Lord Adinath. Another exquisite aspect that has earned the temple its name is the carving of the four-headed image of Adinath, sheltered by a 108-headed snake with numerous tails. The four heads face four directions, suggesting the pursuit of the Tirthankaras.
• Head to Kumbhalgarh Fort, which has made its mark in history for having the second-largest wall after the Great Wall of China. The mighty fort stands 3,600 feet tall, and its 38 km-long wall surrounds the area of Udaipur. It is considered to have been built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century. The fort has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan. It is strategically located on the western Aravalli hills.
