Also, why is the concept of a sidewalk so difficult to understand?

mootsmanuva India is fifty times in size of Sri Lanka & may be almost 100 times in population (if correct figures are available, India is the most populous country - one with the largest population - in the world, not China even by remote chance). India has lofty Himalayan heights like nowhere else in the world (you need to get acclimatized for two three days after going a kilometre high in altitude, each time; else it is hell). There are habitats or "communities" by dozen, in mountains higher than Mt. Denali, the highest in North America, temperate climate in northern plains far from coast, tropical peninsular India somewhat like Sri Lanks (where only Tropical climate exists). One region in India (double the size of Sri Lanka) is unlike any other region & you'll end up saying "so many Indias"!

You have always been a great lover of caves, Gabe, as we saw in Cappadocia and Derinkuyu in Turkey, Vardzia in Georgia, Matera in Italy and many other places. This one combines caves with Hinduism, so its great to see you in your element.

@MrPoornakumar Год назад

Goostrey "Caves with Hinduism", that is like it. Without Hinduism, one is lost & don't know what one is seeing - why that bull is sitting there (there are a thousand such paces), why that God has lifted his foot sky high or another looks like a boar, what is the face of that God - monkey or lion (if so why so)! Every temple or sculpted site "ls" a story, like your comic book, if you follow them meticulously. These are meant for that - "story-telling" for which generations of sculptors toiled for millennia, one generation after the other.

@johngravley2389 Год назад

If you ever get the chance, you should definitely visit the Ellora caves. The Ajanta caves are interesting but they're nothing compared to Ellora.

@MrPoornakumar Год назад

John Gravley Plenty of places have rock-works & sculptures. South India is a rocky place (except the thin coastal strips of Goa, Mumbai or Visakhapatnam). There are a thousand sites like Badami, Ellora, Mahabalipuram & so on. Ajanta has ancient paintings like nowhere else in the world (or very few places). Ajanta is rare. After all it depends on the taste & proclivity of a tourist as to what he wants to see.

@mzanpure Год назад

Maharashtra alone has more than 60-70% of rock cut architecture’s in the world. Nothing can come close to the Kailasa Temple in Ellora (Verul).

@MrPoornakumar Год назад

@@mzanpure Rashtrakuta kings were responsible for making the area great (that is Maharshtra now). Chalukyas followed later whose king defeated (northern) Sri Harsha(got defeat ed by Mamalla/Pallava king of South). Eastern Chalukyas separated & (based at Vengi/Rajamahendravaram), responsible for the first book being written in Telugu (Maha Bharata) & inter-married to Cholas. Southern India (different from "South India") is the main part (continental shield) of Indian sub-continent drifting away from the super continent "Gondwanaland" (other separated parts are Africa, South America & Australia while Antarctic remained in place), 55 million years ago long long before Man (Homo Sapiens) evolved. Man, when he became fully evolved in this region, it is in the tropics. That molded his lifestyle. Man in Deccan (Daxina) with rocks all around learnt to sculpt. Of course there was shared "Prakrit" culture (before separation of languages as Marathi, Telugu & Kannada) when the "dravid" word can't be applied. The sculptures here aren't to be found anywhere else in the world. Even now great sculpting traditions (personal experience) remain in some castes that needs to be encouraged. Now that we are separate, it doesn't mean these are isolated. The three share a same culture & festivals (traditional New Year - Ugadi & Makar Sankranti) Ellora, Belur or Warangal have the same roots in sculpture, absent in the North.Separation happened in 1-1-1956 when linguistic states got formed. The ancient Hala's Gatha Sptati is claimed by all three. Similarly Hampi Vijayanagara Empire is a common heritage of Kannada & Telugu people while Maharashtra, North Karnataka & Telangana were under the 5 Bahmani sultanates & historical cleavage is responsible to the present day situation. Please keep history (& many other things as Geology) at the back of mind, while letting out any opinion. Its a common heritage (my third sister is married to a Maharshtrian, Bhongade).

@MrPoornakumar Год назад

Avi Buddha and Hinduism don't mix. You can't find Buddha statue in a Hindu temple. Buddhist influence is something else. Either one is a Buddhist temple or it is Hindu. They co-exist without fighting nor have any bad feelings. I think your opinions are "free" (cock-eyed, far removed from reality) - like this vlogger who doesn't know what he is seeing, the God, its name, what is s/he upto and such. Hinduism unlike Egyptian or Greek places of worship in the past, aren't Archaeological relics. Thus even an illiterate boy can say which is the God & all that. All of the sculpture in a line, sequentially tell a story. It is why they are there, in the first place. That, this vlogger missed altogether.

@MrPoornakumar Год назад

Maranda Marvin Sculptures & sites (a hundred of them are must see) are OK, as you need to "see" them if you want to know. But, about the languages and how the governments support their people ! You can get all that from so many AV sources. The world is chockful of information unlike even 20years ago. Lot of journalistic (or statistical) hype is generated about thousands upon thousands of languages of India. A dozen languages (each with her own state, some with "more" states also) & three tribal languages (may be two of them have no script of their own) are spoken by 96% of the population. I share my language with about a 100 million (a few in USA too). A "clever" American has told me about an "Indian" language that I haven't been able to locate in India, till now ! May be he was referring to "Indian" of North America, with large plumage for a head-gear, not in the least related to 1.4 billion (about 18% of humanity) residing here, with ancient history stretching back to several millennia. Now population of India is the world's largest, not the Chinese (by any stretch of imagination). Figures aren't available anywhere (for the first time in a hundred-year long practice, this time India didn't take the National census, due in the first year of every decade), but you can check. There are 29 states & 7 territories (tiny ones, more often single cities) directly falling under the Central (federal) control. Every state has an elected legislature house like the Central government. Every state differs from the others in cuisine. Each state is of similar size like a European country. So, Indian Union (that is the official name) is like European Union (or the other way round!). I suspect Europe copied the concept from Indian Union, that was there even before independence of India.

Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.

@naveex6968 Год назад

It has secret underground tunnels believed to be leading to underground city which is even more mysterious and government have totally locked that down and no researchers are allowed to go inside. During the reign of Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, the temple was ordered to be demolished along with other temples nationwide. For the task in 1682 he sent over 1000 labourers especially to destroy Kailasa Temple; they worked for over 3 years, but could barely manage to disfigure a few statues here and there. It's the solid granite rock that's made so hard to destroy. Despite of his repeated efforts to tear down Kailasa Temple, Aurangzeb did not found success. Finally he gave up on destroying this temple. This is the same person who has destroyed thousands of ancient temples in India but he could not destroy this one so you can understand the magnanimity of the temple. other than Kailasa Temple there are 99 other cave temples there (100 total) of which 34 are open for public viewing. whole temple complex known at Ellora Caves.

Someone posted a comment yesterday informing me that Nepal just changed the rules for trekking and that solo independent trekking will no longer be allowed. I hate the idea of trekking with a guide and I really want to do the EBC trek. This new rule goes into effect on April 1st, which is in three weeks. So I was seriously thinking of leaving India within a few days, flying to Nepal and doing the trek solo while I still can. But then I checked the weather for Lukla and it's very cold and snowing, and Lukla is the bottom of the trek. So it will of course be even colder up higher. That's sounding like pretty harsh conditions. Then I checked the new rule again and discovered that the Everest region is the only part of Nepal where this rule won't apply. So apparently even after April 1st it will still be possible to trek solo to EBC. With that in mind I might wait and do it later when it's warmer. The last trek I did in Langtang in December was rough due to the cold in the rooms in the evening and at night. So it would be preferable to wait until it warms up a bit. Also the forecast isn't showing any sunshine which means no clear skies, which means you probably can't see the mountains. That would be super disappointing. So I might hold off on that plan and wait until later in the spring when it's warmer and clear or another time altogether. But I'm not certain yet, things are basically wide open at this point.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos well I'm glad to hear it doesn't apply to the Everest Region. I was super bummed when I saw that news

@gabejedmo the sculpture that you were wondering about at 11:56 is called Varaha Avathar of God Vishnu ( God Vishnu's Incarnation as wild boar). It is one of the 10 main incarnations of God Vishnu

Gabe, if you get to Mumbai, you should take a boat to Elephanta Island. It's about 30 min from the city and has the most beautiful ancient sculptures and caves. Even crazier than this.

I visited there on my first trip to India, very interesting.

I loved travelling in India back in the mid-1990's. And I learned to love the music! Cheers from Denmark. By the way, no one really know how old these caves are, like Ellora and Ajanta caves. They can't date stones. We are looking at something that no one can explain really. And today, no one would be able to carve these caves, no matter what. It's like the pyramids. We don't know anything. But for sure, the official narrative is NOT the truth.
