This destination is for the traveller who wants to sample history in peace. Kumbhalgarh is accessible from Udaipur and has excellent roads. The Kumbalgarh Fort is to be seen both at day and in the evening. The illumination in the evening is a photographers delight.

Shri Ramayani Hanuman Ji Maharaj Mandir is located at Alwar city belongs to Alwar district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The temple is situated near Pratap Bandh on Hanuman Tilla.
Alwar is located around 150 kms south of Delhi and about 150 kms north of Jaipur, and is a part of National Capital Region (NCR) and the Ahirwal regional. It is also famous for its olive plantation in Tinkirudi.
Alwar was formerly spelt as "Ulwar" in British India. This placed it in last position in alphabetically ordered lists, so a king changed the spelling to "Alwar" to bring it to the top.
When Bhagwan Shri Ram left this world to go back to Vaikunth, He asked Hanumanji to remain in this world and continue to chant Ram-Naam i.e. Ramayan so that the world could be benefited by it and that is what Chiranjeevi God Hanuman Dada continues to do to this day!
हनुमानजीको भगवान श्रीरामसे यह वरदान मिला है की अनेक जगहपे एक साथ रामायण श्रवण करनेके लिए अनेक शरीर धारण कर सकोंगे और जब तक इस जगतमें रामायणकी कथा होती रहेगी तुम जीवित रहोंगे अर्थात् चिरंजीवी रहोंगे I
So as on today Lord Hanuman is present on the earth and reading Ramayan continues, and the main deity of this temple is in actual pose of God Hanuman reading Ramayan as on today hence the name of this temple is “Ramayani Hanumanji”.

Another myth is the legend of the Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnavati. She is believed to be the jewel of Rajasthan. On her eighteenth birthday she began to get offers of marriage from other regions (i.e. nobility). In the area lived a tantrik, a magician well versed in the occult, called Singhia, who was in love with the princess but knew that the match was impossible. One day Singhia saw the princess's maid in the market, he used his black magic on the oil she was purchasing so that upon touching it the princess would surrender herself to him. The princess, however, seeing the tantric enchanting the oil, foiled his plan by pouring it on the ground. As the oil struck the ground it turned into a boulder, that crushed Singhia. Dying, the tantrik cursed the palace with the death of all who dwelt in it.[6] The next year there was a battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh in which Princess Ratnavati perished. Legends says that there are ghosts in Bhangarh and that is why entry is prohibited for tourists in the fort after sunset and before sunrise.[6] The locals believe that the princess Ratnavati has taken birth somewhere else and that the fort and the empire of Bhangarh is waiting for her return to put an end to the curse.

The guide in Alwar told us that some people from Bhangarh came and settled here after Bhangarh was abandoned. We say this small fortress just above the road, a ruined temple and a sort of ghost town as we drove past to Alwar.

Bhangarh ( भानगढ़) is a ruined town in the Alwar district of the state of Rajasthan, India, most famous for its historical ruins. It is said to be a haunted place. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has put up a signboard by the main gate stating (among others): "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited."
Bhangarh is a place between Jaipur and Delhi in Rajasthan state of India known for its ruins. Bhangarh is also a pre-historic site. The most remarkable of its buildings are the temples of Gopinath, Shiva (Someshwar), Mangla Devi, Lavina Devi and Keshava Rai. Other buildings include shops along the main road, several havelis, a mosque, and a palace.[2] The palace was protected by two inner fortifications across the valley. The town is separated from the plain by ramparts with five gates.
The town was established in 1573 (VS 1631) during the rule of Bhagwant Das as the residence of his second son Madho Singh, the younger brother of Emperor Akbar’s general, Man Singh I. Madho Singh participated in many campaigns with his father and brother. The next ruler of Bhangarh was his son Chhatr Singh,[3] after whose death in 1630, Bhangarh slowly declined. When the Mughal Empire became weaker after the death of Aurangzeb, Jai Singh II attached Bhangarh to his state by force in 1720. After this Bhangarh diminished in population, and since the famine of 1783 (VS 1840) the town has remained uninhabited.
Entry to Bhangarh is legally prohibited between sunset and sunrise. A signboard posted by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), which is a Government of India organization, specifies the instructions. While the board is written in Hindi, the instructions on it roughly translate into: "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited. Legal action would be taken against anybody who does not follow these instructions" .Some other rules are there according to which no one is allowed to graze their animals after sunset.
