Jain Temple

Ranakpur, India

This was a very pleasant surprise. We stopped here midway between Jodhpur and Udaipur. It is truly stunning. I've later learned that this temple was one of 77 finalists for the new "Seven Wonders of the World" contest, and I can easily see why. The intricacy and ornateness of the design is just incredible. In addition, we got a tour and blessing from the head priest. This was one of those experiences that wasn't even on my radar but ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the tour.
