Gopachal Parvat or the “Ek Patthar ki Bavadi” as it is popularly known, is situated on the slopes of the magnificent Gwalior Fort. One of Gwalior’s most spectacular tourist attractions, Gopachal Parvat is renowned for its unique & ancient statues of Jain Tirthankaras.

An awe-inspiring & spectacular attraction of Gwalior, the
Gopachal Parvat attracts thousands of tourists from across the world.What makes this Parvat such a sought after attraction, is the statues of 23 Jain Tirthankaras carved out of a single piece of rock. Besides, the carved idol of Lord Parshvanath towering to a height of 47 feet & a width of 30 feet is the largest of its types in the world.

The Gopachal Parvat was built way back between the years 1398 to 1536 under the reigns of Tomar Kings, Raja Veermadev, Kirtisingh & Dungarsingh. Since Gwalior is considered to be a significant pilgrimage destination for the Jains, the Parvat is also referred to as “Jain Gadh” by many.

Comment on Paris: Bastille Day Fireworks by Saad

I remember that day My first attempt to photographing fireworks. The photos weren’t very good, but I learned a lot. This year I shot the fireworks in the south of France, and it was better : lots of space to put the tripod, less crowd.
I prefer your last photo, the tower looks incandescent and steamy
By the way, why do you call it “Bastille day” ? It’s the anniversary of “la prise de la Bastille” but we call it “la fête nationale”, or simply “le 14 juillet”.

Keep up the good work !

Wow, Nitish. thanks for posting this link on FB. I love looking at these photos. Your niece is a beautiful girl, and you can tell her parents I said so. I love your photography, and my favorite from this group is the one of her pouring the sand on her baby.

As I write this, your photos is behind me on our wall. I still love it.

Thank you.
