Rejseplan
Vi begynder med Shri Aurobindo, en stor seer, digter og profet i det 20. århundrede, gjorde Pondicherry sit hjem fra 1910 til sin død i 1950. Hans visioner og idealer fortsætter med at tiltrække mennesker fra hele verden.
Manakula Vinayagar-templet i Puducherry er et storslået og smukt tempel, der er dedikeret til den hinduistiske herre Ganesha. Puducherry kan være et sted fuld af kirker, men Manakula Vinayagar Temple er meget eftertragtet blandt hinduistiske hengivne og turister, der rejser fra alle dele af landet. Det er mere end 500 år gammelt og har en berømt historie og er et af de ældste templer i regionen.
Vi besøger en unik fabrik, der laver håndlavet papir. Sri Aurobindo-papirfabrikken startede for 50 år siden og fremstiller papir fra 100% bomuldsragpulp. På dette besøg vil gæsterne opleve, hvordan papiret fremstilles af bomuldsplader og derefter bearbejdes med teknikker som silkeblæsning og marmorering.
Vi rejser til Auroville, det radikale koncept for en global landsby, hvor tusindvis af mennesker fra hele verden har opgivet deres nationalitet og lever som globale borgere. Auroville blev opfattet med den vision, at "Der skulle være et sted på jorden, et sted, som ingen nation kunne hævde som sin egen, hvor alle mennesker af god vilje, der har en oprigtig aspiration kunne leve frit som verdensborgere og adlyde en enkelt autoritet, den øverste sandhed; et sted for fred, harmoni og harmoni...". Gæsterne får også mulighed for at se de forskellige måder, hvorpå borgerne praktiserer bæredygtig livsstil. Matri Mandir er en kæmpe kuppel til stille meditation.
Pancha rathas eller fem vogne, en serie af monolithiske templer bygget af Pallavas.Dette er sten cut monolith templer strukturer bygget i det 7. århundrede. Hver af de 5 rathas eller vogne er dedikeret til den ledende cast af Mahabharat episke - Draupadi, Arjuna, Nakul-Sahadeva, Bhima og Yudhister. Der er også en skulptur af en elefant ved siden af ratha af Nakul-Sahadeva. Når du står mod elefantens bagside, vil du bemærke, at der er en mærkelig lighed mellem vognens bagside og elefanten.
Vi besøger nu Arjuna's Penace, et bas-relief monument, der betragtes som en af Indiens mest storslåede stykker af antik kunst, der skildrer levende scener fra Mahabharata. Lettet er 100 fod langt og 45 fod højt! Hovedfortællingen bliver fortalt, hvordan Arjuna, en af Pandava-brødrene, udførte alvorlige austerities for at opnå Lord Shivas våben.
Næste stop er Krishna's Butterball, en granitkolle, der er klar på en stenede hældning. Denne nysgerrige kølle synes at trodse Newtons tyngdekrav og har ikke flyttet en tomme på trods af at være i denne usikre position på skråningen i mere end tusinde år.
Vores sidste havn er Shore Temple. Det storslåede tempel har udsigt over Bengtsbuen og var et vigtigt center under Pallavas regeringstid, da Mahabalipuram var deres kongres hovedhavn. Bygget af kong Raja Simha i begyndelsen af det 8. århundrede er Shore Temple et vartegn i Indiens arkitektoniske landskab. Marco Polo omtalte dette som de syv pagoder. Det eksisterende tempel er den sidste overlevende af de 7, der engang stod som et fyrtårn for søfarende.

We recently had the pleasure of touring Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram with Rajesh as our guide. The itinerary was perfectly structured, beginning with the charm of Pondicherry followed by the historic beauty of Mahabalipuram. Both locations are truly remarkable. We also enjoyed an excellent lunch in Mahabalipuram that was a highlight of the day. I highly recommend Rajesh for his professional service and seamless coordination.

As a single female, this felt like a really safe way to explore Marabalipuram. Rajesh was my guide and he had a driver who had a very clean car. The drive from Chennai was about 90 minutes - the bike was “rustic” but rideable - biking through Indian streets was exhilarating and Rajesh kept me close and I felt happy and calm riding with him. We had a fresh coconut drink mid ride. The temples are exquisite- and lunch was a delicious panneer masala in an air conditioned restaurant. Rajesh was a good conversationalist and I had a very enjoy time. I’d recommend this for the energetic and adventurous traveler!!
