往事的低语 Whispers of the past
赫马库塔山,汉皮,印度
汉皮位于印度卡纳塔克邦,被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。从14世纪到16世纪,维查耶纳伽尔帝国统治着这片区域。而作为维查耶纳伽尔帝国首都的汉皮,自然留下了许多古迹群,例如古老的寺庙、雄伟的宫殿和满目苍夷的废墟。在克利希那德瓦·拉亚国王的统治期间(1509年至1529年),这座城市经历了大幅扩张,新建了很多具有艺术气息的建筑,吸引着来自世界各地的游客和商人。然而,1565年,维查耶纳伽尔帝国在塔利科塔战役中战败,汉皮也随之衰落。
如今,汉皮拥有约1000座古迹,现代背包客的到来让这座失落的城市重获新生。赫马库塔山是汉皮游客最多的地方之一,那里有许多保存完好的寺庙和神社。在山上游览时,游客们还可以顺便在湿婆神的维鲁帕克沙神庙停下来祈祷。
Hemakuta Hill, Hampi, India
Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Karnataka, India. The group of monuments—ancient temples, majestic palaces, and intricate ruins—are remnants of the former capital city of the Vijayanagara Empire, which ruled much of South India between the 14th and 16th centuries.
The city grew during the reign of King Krishnadevaraya, from 1509 to 1529, and was famed for its art and architecture, attracting visitors from all over the world. However, Hampi lost its Midas touch in 1565, when it was destroyed after the defeat of its army at the Battle of Talikota.
Today, Hampi still houses about 1,000 ancient monuments and has become popular with modern backpackers, giving the lost city a new life. One of the most visited parts is Hemakuta Hill, with its well-preserved temples and shrines. While exploring the hill, visitors can stop by to offer prayers at the Virupaksha Temple, a pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Shiva.

印度拉贾斯坦邦阿布山
阿布山(Mount Abu)是拉贾斯坦邦唯一的山地站,海拔1722米,被阿拉瓦利山脉(Aravalli Range)郁郁葱葱的绿色山丘环绕,为人们提供了急需的缓解拉贾斯坦斯坦酷热天气的方法。它被称为“沙漠中的绿洲”,因为它的高度是河流、湖泊、瀑布和常绿森林的家园。
阿布山由部落社区的乡村住宅和豪华住宅(包括英式平房和皇家度假屋)组成,五彩缤纷,在这个沙漠之州,阿布山似乎不亚于一个奇迹。除了风景优美之外,该地还有几座印度教和耆那教寺庙,包括Arbuda Devi Temple、Shri Raghunath Temple、Dilwara Temple等。您还可以参观附近的阿查尔加尔堡、纳基湖和德鲁迪亚瀑布。
Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India
Providing much-needed relief from the blazing heat of Rajasthan, Mount Abu, the state’s only hill station, stands at a height of 1,722 meters above sea level and is embraced by the lush green hills of the Aravalli Range. It is referred to as 'an oasis in the desert as its heights are home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and evergreen forests.
Studded with a colorful mix of rustic abodes of tribal communities and posh houses inclusive of British-style bungalows and royal holiday lodges, Mount Abu appears to be no less than a wonder in this desert state. Other than its scenic beauty, the place is home to several Hindu and Jain temples, including Arbuda Devi Temple, Shri Raghunath Temple, Dilwara Temple, and more.
