Rural India has an almost magical feel to it with the amazing landscapes, the old temples everywhere - the traditional way of life. Like traveling to narnia or something almost!
Temples built by western chalukays (name of a dynasty) in central and northern karnataka and temples built by hoysala dynasty in southern karnataka are amazing...
Hampi was an absolutely wonderful place when I went there in 96, looking forward to seeing it again in your next video. I remember vividly leaving Hampi and thinking it was one of the most magical places I had ever been.
It was richest place in the world at its time.............till the land was invaded by the islamic barbarians who raped , murdered , pillages gold and precious stones and destroyed the temples and palaces of Hampi (Vijaynagar Empire)
It's not magical, it is alien gate way, you visited there in 1996 and couldn't able to find clue and did nothing about hampi. Mahatma Gandhi said laziest person is who seen the truth, know the true and heard the truth but do nothing about it. I hope you learned something from Gabriel.
That curry you had with the idli and vada is known as Sambhar ... deeply Spiced aromatic tangy lentil soup / stew with seasonal/ local vegetables always served complimentary with rice dishes, dosa, idli and vadaa ... common to all southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu , Andhra ,Telengana and also Sri lanka.. which is a country you will love too...must explore along with Burma ,Maldives ,lakshadweep..then you've experienced all of south Asia..
What a fabulous culture. And the cave temples with the figures are just wonderful. Thank you for showing us these places - I'll probably never get to go there , unfortunately, so thanks for taking me there !

Hindus do not worship broken idols, so islamic invaders broke some part of the idol to render it useless. The subsequent Hindu generations abandoned those temples. Some were revived with new idols like black nandi in the video.

Yes Gabriel:) You are in Hungary after Switzerland and Austria now. Where we got to see some Roman artifacts. Especially enjoyed seeing the ornate hand, very decorative looking. Incredible image to remember seen never before. Back to the ceilings carvings in the Jainas temple, your right Gabriel it must be brilliant to pretend to be standing upright when really your laying down. To be lost in carving that way... like bending forward on the beach looking upside down between open legs seeing everything upside down it's great! Thanks Gabriel. From Craig. GB.

Great you added the button…mention it in your next video because I saw a contribution from someone in Canada and wasn’t sure how to do it, not complicated but I think if you explain it will give others idea too. Namaste 🙏🏽
please visit Ranakpur Jain temple and Kumbhalgarh Fort near Udaipur in rajasthan. Ranakpur Jain temple is best and most beautiful architecture remaining in North India. the temple has 1444 columns each one of them looking different than others with intricate details. the audacious architect built it such way that if you remove any one column the entire Temple must come down. that too was done at a time when other parts of India was under foreign rule and thousands of temple were getting destroyed. Temple has a total of 84 underground chambers built to protect idols of the deities from destruction. its over 600 years old but still looks like it was built yesterday. Kumbhalgarh Fort has the second longest wall in the world after Great Wall of China.
I just subscribed to u & I have to say thanku for visiting Hyderabad India. I was born in Andra Pradesh in 1971. I came to 🇨🇦 in 1975. It's nice to see Hyderabad again through ur adventures. Maybe next time u can see the beach I hear it's beautiful. Luv ur videos Sir. 🙏🏼
Hi Gabriel, I can't over how many temples are there the amount of time in building them must have been intense those temples could not have been built in a brief time and the detail is spectacular. The tourist don't seem to gravitate to these locations like other parts of India yet there is much to see you have obviously opened many people's eyes to what they haven't yet seen possibly a lack of interest. Or just not enough time to travel there. I find that for a lot of people this type of travel interest doesn't appeal to everyone, its history ang boring and there is little explanation of what you're looking at without a proper guide explaining everything. This could be very convoluted for a lot of travelers.
I think the way it works with most of the western tourists is that they get to know about the places of interest in India either through word of mouth from other western tourists or through some YT videos of western tourists or through books written by western tourists. And in most of these sources, you get know about the same set of places that are popular among these circles (Golden triangle, Goa, Kerala etc.) and end up missing out on other parts of India which can offer equally good or better experiences. The only way to avoid this is to do more research through other sources of information.
Because western tourists are hooked on to Taj Mahal while Taj Mahal is beautiful but definitely not as beautiful and complex as a lot of hindu temples like ellora and so many other temples in eastern and southern India. Most temples in north India were destroyed during the Islamic Invasion from the west but still there are very few of them. India is quite big and you would need years to explore different sections of the country.
At 29:27, along with Ganesh ji, we see 'Nataraj'. Lord Shiva likes to dance, and his dancing form is named as 'Nataraj'. Before that Mr Gabriel rightly guessed as 'Durga ji'. Was it Idly or Dosa? From it's look I thought it must be Dosa. Along with Brown Doughnut shaped item was VADA. Idly, Vada and Dosa are made from almost similar ingredients, Rice and Blackgram, But they way these three dishes are cooked makes them different, Idly is steamed, Vada is fried in oil, Dosa is baked with some oil similar to Roti on a hotplate
This is my style of roaming India, get a cab .. !!!! it helps .. incase you are a crazy adventurous traveller .. Thank you for this one, you reminded me of me :)
Not sure about anyone else but although I feel very attracted to India, visiting temples & religious festivals makes me feel very uneasy being a foreigner....cultural appropriation to the eye of the locals & in a certain way kind of understandable. Apart from this, I make the most of it blending in!

It's called a swastika. The Nazis stole both the symbol and the name. It's been used by various cultures for many thousands of years, including the Romans: ruclips.net/video/boOmG1U8xmY/видео.html
Swastika is used as symbol of enlightenment. Its also means "Let the noble thoughts come from all the directions" hence used by many civilizations who share the knowledge.

Do forget to see Badami caves pattadakal ihole belur halebid somanathpur temples. Ruins of
Hampi.. ..
Can you imagine how exquisitely stunning all of those temple carvings would be if “colorized “ . Wow, thank you for the great tour, taking us along.🕌😊
You can find those in many other temples… Madurai Meenakshi temple for example is vibrant!
Temples in Tamilnadu part of south india are mostly painted with vibrant colours. In my opinion they look more beautiful without painting
"colourize". Do you watch Praveen mohan channel? Well, in his channel he'll colorize the idols and explain about them in detail.

Question: So the use of the swastiki in India clearly pre-dates the Nazi movement, what is the symbol known as in India?
It's called a swastika. The Nazis stole both the symbol and the name. It's been used by various cultures for many thousands of years, including the Romans: ruclips.net/video/boOmG1U8xmY/видео.html
used as sacred symbol for peace and prosperity in hinduism , For nazis it was their symbol for murder and bestiality
Swastika is used as symbol of enlightenment. Its also means "Let the noble thoughts come from all the directions" hence used by many civilizations who share the knowledge.
@@0arjun077 which other "civilisation" uses swastika ? other than hindus ?
@@davelawson2564 i think all european pagans, bhuddists.
So beautiful love india 🇮🇳

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Great to hear that.
I'vealso been to India but in my country NL never heard about Jain style. Is that the same like Khmer ?
Khmer was initially HIndu but later adopted buddhism. Jainism is mostly located in India.
Endless wondering opportunities
